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....
