My last two days working on my ballgown. It was a race against the clock, but it's done now. I was exhausted by the end and have been sleeping 10-12 hour nights the last 3 days since I finished.
Photos of the completed gown won't be available until July when I've had my presentation, but you can expect plenty of them then.

I'm getting close to finishing the skirt embroidery, but unfortunately my tendinitis has flared up. It needs a week or two of rest. But I have 11 days to finish or I fail and have to start over with a brand new dress design. I'm trying so hard to not panic right now.

Back to the beading table. The skirt panel is far too larger to fit in the beading frame, so I had to get creative. I pinned it to the frame tapes from the top and rolled up the bottom of the skirt panel on a cardboard tube. When I need to move down, I'll repin the whole thing higher and unroll some of the skirt.
