Oh man, I got so much stuff done today! I finished most of the sewing, though it wasn't easy as I either bent or broke three needles and a few pins. Way too many layers. Gotta remember to get thicker needles the next time I'm doing something like this. But the only really big thing is sewing tulle on the underskirt, to hide the hoops. And actually fitting the hoops on. I'm getting creative with the hooping, we'll see how it turns out...

Mostly I'll be doing a lot of beading for the next couple of days, and hand-sewing a zipper on the back of the dress (because I don't want to break my last needle...). And that's about it, after that it's done. Estimated finish time is some time on Thursday. The beading will probably take most of tomorrow, so I'm preparing for a marathon of Battlestar Galactica and Buffy. Gotta have something to watch while I work...

And finally, a sneak peek! http://www.cosplay.com/photo/1628583/
