green velvet costume part 4: Finished the bra and redoing the skirt

[mekyria]

It's been a while since I've updated on the green velvet costume, but I assure you that there have been tons of things going on. I finished the bra about one or two eweks ago and posted a close-up on bhuz, but I didn't post it here because I wanted to give you a full update.
Here's a rather blurry picture of the bra:


I beaded the skirt with sequins and bugle beads in January, but I needed to redo all the beading. So..... here's a before picture:

Creating the new pattern with the rhinestone chain:

And filling the design out by edging all the curls in gold seedbeads:


Every curl takes about 30-50 minutes to complete. 


More on the back of the skirt tomorrow.
