The making of Black Diamonds

The start of the corset

Added the lapels

The first beading of the lapels

 

Close up; I learned later that the upper stars should be smaller

And in this pic you can see how I changed it

Added the rhinestone edging

The first set of tails and modesty panel

The tails from the side.  These were just temporary ones that I made to wear out to a show.  Very quick.

Started sewing on the individual rows of sequins

How it looked with the center done. 

You can really see the difference between the sequins and the fabric.

Shiny!  It was really slow going on the sequins

Sequins are done!

Started the rhinestone scales

Halfway done!

 

 

Just about done

The second modesty panel

I added a layer of fringe over the first

but I didn't like how it looked

So I took the longer bits off

looking better

Detail on the edges

Yep, more detail

The tails before they were attached.  You cant see it until they move but the beading is done in 'scallops'
