At last it is done ..... well skirt applique anyway

After some 575 hours, the applique on the skirt is done! Well all the major bits anyway, moving on to the little loops now, which will probably take a fair while as well.

But this is such a huge milestone for me on this dress, I just had to see what it looked like, so a few pins later and 'ta da'....love to know what you think....

Skirt applique almost done....

Another 10 hours or so done on the skirt and i can finally see the end of the tunnel for the applique, one large gold motif to finish and three small motifs. Then I have to do some filling in of small loops and that sort of thing. After which, on to hand couching.....
