The Wedding Dress - Requested Close Ups

Rhinestone Embellishments
Yes, you thought after my last post on The Wedding Dress would be the last one, right? Sorry! I was requested by a couple of people to show close up pictures of the "bling" that was on the dress. The picture above is of the large design that was on the side of DD's dress and also of the trim that went around the bodice and the bottom of the dress.

Placement of applique 
You can see that I placed the large design so that about two thirds of the design was on the front half of the dress and one third to the back. The braid was only on the top edge of the bodice and the bottom of the bridal skirt. We did not put the braid at the bottom edge of the bodice because it looked way too busy.

While the braid came from China, the head piece was purchased from the same vendor in Turkey who made the large applique. The veil was not attached to the head piece but attached to a separate comb. That way the veil could be removed for the reception as was the long skirt.

Happy embellishing!
