All the rows of trim have been sewn onto the minty-gray underskirt. There's still a lot of embellishment needing to be done by hand, but it has to wait until the over-skirt and bodice are done, so I can see the entire outfit and decide on the colour of the final details. This photo, taken by natural light in my work-space, is a lot closer to the actual colours of the skirt, than the photo of the trims I took outside yesterday. For some reason, the turquoise ribbon and gray lace looked a lot darker than they really are, and the lovely aqua/blue sheen of the gray satin was all washed out. Maybe it was the hot, humid, pre-thunderstorm lighting.

aqua/blue is a difficult colour to photograph. Plus we're still all going to see it different different on each monitor.. But, looking really nice

Oh, how I love the interwebs! I was Googling 'Lace Doily Hats for Dolls' to make another for one of my cats, and came across your website and blog and the tutorial for making a tiny mohair wig and I said, ooooh how I'd love a wig like that for my cat...
