Here is the reconstructed motif for Shannon's dress. I was able to re-use the white bugle beads and the studded rhinestones. The cream seed beads were next to impossible to get off the organza-ish original material and I just didn't have the patience to snip away at them. I kept the basic outline of the original design and just filled in with sequins and boucle stitch, adding some gold at her request. It is sewn on a heavy-ish weight of pellon. I hope she likes it.
I loved those studded rhinestones. I had never worked with them before. Hmmm, something else to add to the shopping list!

Just as we suspected. You have turned a catastrophy into a work of art. Congratulations on a beautiful reconstruction.
You did a great job. I hope the event goes well. It looks like your beading little Christmas ornaments over there...is it true?
I knew when you were done with this, it would be even nicer than it was when you started with it! I was right. You have so much talent! I bet she will be thrilled when you show it to her. Lucky lady for sure! Hugs!
Uh Wow, Looks like it is much more beautiful than the original. Fantastic!
