Reverse applique sundress, part 2.

I've gotten a little farther on the sundress I first wrote about in this post.  (The top is two layers of jersey, with beading and reverse applique.)

Pinning it onto Purnah, I've realized I'll need to make a few adjustments before I sew the final seams.  I don't know if that's because I made the dress from knit, and the original pattern calls for woven, or if my body just requires more darts, but it definitely gaps a bit here and there when I pin it together.

The bodice is done except for the little tiny beads that I'm adding all around the neckline, a combination of Japanese Toho seed beads, bugle beads, and Czech glass beads:

It took most of an episode of Glee to get that little patch of beads stitched on.  Here's hoping I can get the rest of it stitched before summer!
