Getting Ready to Add the Bling . . .

 Front of the dress with padded flowers sewn down.  I still have to add 3 of the flowers to the front.  I have decided to do applique the pieces that overlap the neckline after they have been embroidered with the silver threads.  I thought this would be the best way to ensure that all the ends are nice and clean.

 A selection of the silver threads.
