Patience wrap up... well sort of.

UPDATE: I made this post almost 3 weeks prior to publish. I don't like my after pictures, they are dark, and I didn't fluff the front of the dress just right. In one of the pictures her zipper wasn't all the way up either. I will be taking better pics of this dress when the weather is better with a photographer( my son). But I have been doing a lot just getting in my head about it. 


 So Patience, is a Morilee Dress (Rebecca) sample that I have been working on for a while. Because I was scared to work on it, took me long. (the hem gave me a gray hair and a pimple).  So here is the before.


I didn't take a good front picture of where I marked the Hem, but it was 8 inches.  I finally had her around again to take after pictures. I fixed up the beading, raised straps, and hemmed that beautiful lace edge. It was a big learning experience. I don't have it bustled yet. I don't know that I will, but also I can't choose between american, french, or ballroom. Can you comment and tell me which one I should do? 

Here are the afters, until I can get the inspiration to do the bustle:


This last one, I took before I realized her hook and eye was open and the zipper wasn't all the way up. I didn't realize until she was already out of the dress. I am not the best cameraman. It's pretty, the beading looks great too. 
So for now, Patience is going in a bag, until I can figure out what to do next with the train. Suggestions for the kind of bustle welcome, give me a comment.
