So today I did a couple of small but significant jobs - I checked the lace (for that sort of money, I'm making sure I get every cm I pay for and that theres no smudges, snags or faults) - Its perfect!
I was a little disappointed to find that the main fabric only has the wide scalloped border on one edge, and that the majority of the motifs are smaller than the ones in the photograph. Fortunately I hadn't counted on things being otherwise, but I do feel the catalogue was a little misleading.
That aside, the lace is GORGEOUS! The beading is the nicest I've seen, super sparkly but in a subtle way as the colour of the beads is perfectly matched.
The other job was to add a couple of feet onto the bottom of my dress bag. Since the dress is gonna spend some time in it to avoid him seeing it, I need it to not crease things up!
Oh, and my silk came too and is also gorgeous.
