At the start of August I had gotten this far on her:
Then I moved out of my dorms and into a one bedroom apartment with my mom, dad and sister while we waited a week to get our new house. I worked on her for maybe 2 days in total while there then we moved into our new house and I have spent three days straight stitching and this is how far I have gotten!:
Here are some closer up details:
I hope to have her finished by mid October so I have time to get her framed for Christmas time. She will be the first big project I have finished (I have so many UFOs it is insane, but it runs in my family! hehe). Once she is done I might finish my Midsummer's Night Dream Fairy by Miribilia.
Edit: Oh and all those empty spaces in the dress are all beads...confetti beads!! But I love working with the #4 very fine braid for subtle sparkles in the piece
...much easier than blending filaments which are a pain unfortunately 
That is just beautiful and you are making great progress. It is amazing how you can almost feel the textures of the dress. When you get the beads in it will really sparkle.
