All the ornaments in her hair are separate so they can be inserted to create whatever look one wants. I'm very pleased with how this dress turned out. Of course it helps that red and pink are my favourite colours. It looks amazing on Asa. Now I have to take all the final photos.....
Yesterday I reworked and finished the bodice. It looks so much better now. I also added the final embellishments - bows and flowers - to the back of the skirts. I also made a small choker necklace that ties in back with silk ribbons.

Wow, now this dress is REALLY beautiful. I like it over the other one, regardless of the colour. The large lace makes it look elegant and "antique" I also really like the stripe in the main fabric. I was waiting for you to get it done, so I could see it. This one won't stay long on the shelf.

Thanks! I really like it too. It won't be going on any shelf - it's already spoken for, so after I take some more photos, it will get sent off.
