Sorry that I haven't posted in a very long time. Family problems had me off many of the sites I normally visit, but I finally finished a Dress I have been working on for awhile and wanted to share. I used Sense and Sensibility's Regency Pattern, but I used her online instructions to make the dress a button front. I did all the embroidery by hand. FYI It was very bright up front and I was having a hard time seeing. LOL

Thanks for having a look, I think I need to make my corset after all. LOL!

How long did it take you to embroider all that? I too would love to see a nice pretty close-up of the embroidery.

Hello Ladies! and Gentleman... lol

To answer your question: I am an avid embrodier as well as comstume maker so it didn't take me long to do the work on the dress, but I took my time on this dress and made sure I zigzagged all the edges before I put it together. So the embroider portion only took me a few days but the dress itself has been in work for about a year. Here's the requested shot... Before I completed the dress. LOL

Nice work.
