Our beach trip to the Outer Banks is coming up in less than 2 weeks and I almost have my seashell costume complete. I had a couple of ‘mishaps’ when I tried it on and lost 2 strands of pearls which I decided to use stronger thread, and I had to fix one cracked seashell. I have sewed on the lining and added the hooks now. I am waiting for another order of pearls (500 to be exact) so I can add a draping. Hopefully I will have time to do this before we leave. I also have to add some ‘embellishments’ and then I will be done. I have taken alot of photos but don’t want to do a big reveal until I do my portraits on the beach. Here is a sneak peak though:
