Twas pretty easy. Here is a pic of the initial (Plastic) beading. It just looked...well, plastic (it helps that I grew up beading clothes for my mum when she was a seamstress ) And another picture showing the full beading. While it looked nice and all, I just wasnt comfortable with it as the original dress had crystal beads. Here's a picture of the original Jalea. And Voila, they did a second try and this is the result: Initially I was a bit uncomfortable with the color contrast but it gradually grew on me (my dress is white) and now I wont have it any other way. And yeah, I'll be sure to help when the time comes Tulumbride2013, just as lots of brides have helped me on this forum. I cant say thank you enough. You all rock!
