Miho's dress decided it needed more flowers along the fabric band, so I complied. But I gave up with all the hand-sewing, and decided to use my glue gun instead. Much faster!! It took just 15 minutes to glue on the second row of flowers, whereas it took two days to sew on the first row.
It may look totally random, but there is definitely a pattern - five small, and five larger flowers,
in a repeat pattern all the way around. Then a new repeat pattern for the upper row....

All the flowers add a nice weight to the upper dress, and make it drape beautifully.
I think it could even be worn alone, as a shorter fancy evening gown.

I think it will need a slip underneath though, as it's a little too see-through as it is.
While I'm working on Miho's gown, I thought I better get started with the wig cap for Lawrence. As soon as Charie is finished painting Benny and Angela, it will be my FID couple's turn, and I certainly don't want to be making a hard cap wig base on Lawrence's painted head. So better do it now....

I'm using the technique on Whispering Grass' tutorial - Here - where the cap is built up with layers of fine tulle and glue. It's a bit fidgety, but I'm finding it a bit easier this time, than I did with my Wizard. Now I need to draw on the hairline and trim the cap. Then choose the mohair.
