The embellishment was not heavy and it was gorgeous. Just enough to add something but not gaudy at all! I say leave it! The only thing that you might consider is a sewing a "row" of beads along the neckline. The dress I just did had this along the neckline but it is was a strapless dress. If she is wearing a fancvy necklace, you would not need to add neckline beads.lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09502314346232136961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784733016362703557.post-45685919239519147092011-05-15T20:32:21.084-04:002011-05-15T20:32:21.084-04:00It is VERY pretty!

I'm generally a less is more kind of girl, but I have to go with Beangirl that the middle of each boob looks a little bare, which is giving it a bit of a "headlights" look. That said, you'll be handsewing any embellishment, so you can wait until the dress is more together and get a more holistic feel for the look then.KID, MDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16317731987862366557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784733016362703557.post-63103156940758407672011-05-15T17:58:53.425-04:002011-05-15T17:58:53.425-04:00I would add more but only on the upper edge of the...I would add more but only on the upper edge of the garment, maybe a inch and half area wide.

Might take away from the elegance factor. What about some sequin-y trim around the neckline, or at the seam where the skirt will be attached?<br /><br />Looks like it will be beautiful, whatever you decide!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
