As you may remember from my earlier posts, I've been working on this tea dress for a couple of weeks now. I needed a light and fun distraction from other, more complex and demanding projects; a little working holiday.

And it still took me longer than I originally planned, because I kept complicating the design. I can't seem to help myself.

Yup....just loooove complicating things.

I was working without a sketch. Just letting the bits of lace inspire me.

I think it might be done. At least for now. I want to keep it light. Must. Stop. Beading.... I do feel a sense of completion about it, but, a week from now I may wake up and decide that this dress is several thousand beads short. It's like I've got an Alien Hand syndrome.

I think the dress suits her.
