Is a good thing. This vintage piece first appeared here and here and looked ‘ok’ but I thought it needed a little “oomph”, so I added a bit of sparkle (which doesn’t really show off in these photos ‘cuz the sun is not doing its thing today!!!!)!………
This is the first I’ve added pearls/beading to these little vintage pieces (although, I’ve certainly done many hours of it on the bridal gowns I used to make——miss that!).

That really gives it that “wow!” factor!
It was really a snow-white blah piece before…..I thought!
I like, I like!
The “bling” really brought the piece to life (even more than I thought!!!). It was way too pristine (read “snow white blah”) before. I’m sure there is more in my future…….hehehe…………
that is so pretty…

I’m glad you enjoyed seeing it! Hugs to you, Friend……………..
Simply beautiful!
Thanks so much, Jackie………
I agree. The bling is perfect.
Great work of art and I hope you could share some pics of the gowns. Your work is always awesome. Blessings Always, Mtetar
Thank you so much!!! The gowns are part of history at this point. I made them when I had my sewing business before the year 2000. Now I do just alterations.
Doreen, that is gorgeous. The bling’s the thing for sure. Just love it.
Amazing to me how so few little doo-dads can change the whole ‘feel’ of a piece!!!! I’m happy you like it……..Hugs…..
