Decoration progression

Here are the three samples I chose to develop, I still need to finish my lattice sample tomorrow, I've nearly completed the two bodices and the tutu plate sample is at least basically finished. I still might develop it further as I'm not entirely happy with the stoning on it. I do like the beading and think it will look really nice with the  movement of the dancer.
I decided to back the Kitri sample with black cotton velvet instead of calico as I really felt the calico ruined the effect and the velvet completes the look. It was worth experimenting with as I've decided I do not want to work with velvet in future. It has frayed, left black bits over everything it's touched and picked up endless amounts of thread and other pieces. A good lesson for future projects.
The close up of the Faune bodice show's the beading I've worked into the lace, trying to create highlights and  lowlight, I would like to develop this by adding more cream beads to emphasis the highlights.
The decoration samples have been a really good way to learn more about designing and how to create readable, characterful costumes.
