Flowers completed!

I have FINALLY completed everything about these complex flowers!!!!!!! FINISHED!!!!!!!

The inner petals use rayon thread, free-motion machine embroidery over a wire structure. The outer leaves are again free-motion embroidery over thin fabric, with one piece of wire through the middle. The centres are circles of felt with two circles of white beads sewn over the top. The whole structure is hand-sewn together.

They have now been attached to the front of the skirt, and I think it is quite effective :)


Now I have to decide whether or not to embroider a quote to the base of the skirt or to cut it out of the design... at the moment I am more inclined to include it.
Stay tuned!

Bodice

I have now completely finished my Cambodian-style bodice! Yay!

And when I went to try it on, I realised I had made it a size or two too large for myself T-T

So in these photos you might notice I am pinching it tight behind my back. WHAT A SHAME.

I will alter it to fit my size once I get it back from marking.

Here's what it looks like off the body:

Do you see that detailing? See those seams?? See that boning??? See that zipper????

(You're not meant to see the last two)
This took me forever T-T

Now it's time to work on my skirt!!
