These are the final picture's, it's still in the making.
It's actually the completing, completion.
The finishing touches, if you like. And yes I am very happy that it's completed.
I started this in Oct, I have worked on lots of projects along the way but
I think that this is defiantly one of my longest projects.
6 months of hard work.

This was the stitch for the edging.
It's a strong stitch so I used it to enhance and enforce the neck line.

Also to re-enforce the side seam.
I added yet another rectangle panel to the front of the dress.
Just to add layers.
I felt that it needed a little bit more attention at the front as the back is so detailed.
The sleeves, Oj Oj Oj where a big issue.
I had to add the sleeves last and they really just hung.
I was not sure one I had the bright idea to attach them in whole pieces.
I tried to-do the edging with different fancy stitches,didn't work then turn ups.
With no success...........but then a little light bulb pinged inside my head.
I used a piece of paper so I had a straight edge and then using sharp scissors, I cut across at an angel.
Thus creating a pointed sleeve.

Sleeve cut.
Below I just stitched three layers using a 2'5 hook. Basically a tidy little edge that showed of the angel of the sleeve.
Nothing more nothing less, the turquoises blue is really set off by the red.

I have not really explained this in my YouTube title, but this is part one. It's actaully the making of the dress.
In 6 months of work, I have accumulated a lot of photo documentation so I figured it was well worth the double YouTube.
The making to follow, I figure why rush it now;-)
