This picture was taken before the last details were finished. The bodice actually owns a curved bustline that eliminated the
wrinkling - which was due to boning that was too short for my torso - that is visible here. The pattern for this bodice I
hand-measured and -constructed. In this bodice are are twelve pieces of steel boning, 36 gold grommets, and a 9-inch steel
busk closure. The beading on the two front panels was done freeform and entirely by hand. It consists of clear seed and bugle
beads, pink swarovski crystals, and gold leaf beads.
