She is gorgeous, so fine and detailed, wonderful stitching :applesauce: :applesauce: !

The fan was a good call, I think, she looks lovely like this and you don't want anything to distract attention from her lovely self!

I LOVE this :wub: :wub: !! She's SO on my to-do list.

She's come out beautifully. Love the subtle changes - I agree with the fan detracting from her face.

Great job. :applesauce: :applesauce:

She is SOOOOO pretty. I love the colors on her and the french knots came out really nicely. Beading is SUCH a pain and the knots provide a similar look with less hassle.

Well done!! :applesauce:

Thank you :)

@cinderella- I couldnt use beads because even the petites were too big. I like the effect of this though. :)
