The materials list in the pattern indicates Preciosa Ornela rocaille beads but I chose to use Toho seed beads instead as they are more uniform and available at home too.
After 1.5 hours of beading.
After 3.5 hours of beading, the top is completed. Some time was wasted at the strap on the neckline as I made mistake by stringing through the wrong bead.
It's difficult to bead from the waist down as I have to be careful not to scratch the mannequin. The sharp curve of the waist on a Taiwan manufactured mannequin makes beading around the waist tougher than with a Japan manufactured mannequin.
1 hour spent just to get the waist part done.
2 hours of beading to get to this.
Another 2 hours of beading to get to this.
Ran out of seed beads in teal colour. Gonna stop here for now.
Where do you get the little dressmaker form?
