Made a little pouch “for little bits and bobs”, can’t have a dress without something to carry whatever it is you need to carry, right? Made a pair of wrist cuffs from pieces of rose lace and decided against adding rhinestones or any other wild decor, to keep them neutral as there is enough going on on the dress itself, so simply tied them with a little bow.
The fur shawl could have been a done deal, but didn’t entirely know what I wanted before calling it a night and having started fiddling around with making a pearl choker. But going to use the entire length of the piece of fur, around 1m, going to sew the edges together and then decorate it with montees, roses, filigree leafs. Not much, but I still want some on to have everything match in a sense.
So, last up, the pearl choker. Had bought some metal trim with rhinestones and glass beads, but didn’t quite work out as intended, so had to rethink. First I though of making a long chain of 5mm montees, but then I was all nah, and looked down at those tiny little white pearls, and thought why not. Never made a pearl necklace before, sure, in kindergarden or something, but those were so super basic and nothing advanced like this. Have a few dozen more pearl rings to make and then sit and sew them all together. There will only be one montee droplet, like the one pictured, which will go in the midle, two others will only sport a single 3mm montee. Thinking I’ll use satin ribbon to tie it with once it’s done, I don’t have any other lock small enough for the purpose
Hope being able to finish the necklace tomorrow along with the shawl. Then it’s just a wedding bouquet, a pair of shoes (where I’m still waiting on the feet to arrive in the mail as I need HH-feet) and a wig that needs to be made. Slowly, but surely, nearing the end!
