the re-designed dress is nearing completion. i've used a part of a vintage linen cloth as a label and embroidered 'then & now 2012'. i still need to add a couple of inches to the length which may include some embellishment. i'll try to get a picture of me in the dress when it is actually completed.

and here are some close-ups of the band just below the waist made up of bits and pieces of vintage linens and lace and added hand embroidery:
and the entire front and back...
i need to start thinking about which re-design i want to tackle next.
