It was a long black dress with embroidered flowers below the knee and end of sleeves. The dress came with an inner pants. At a glance, it looked like a dress suitable for funerals.
Since the outfit looked a little bit dull, I decided to add some colours to the embroidered flowers so that I could also wear it on festive seasons.
After making some adjustments to the shoulders and body, I looked through my treasure box and found the perfect embellishments. I chose white diamantes and iron-on coloured rhinestones for this project.
This would be my first project using iron-ons on garments and it was not an easy task because the rhinestones refused to stick. I thought of using hot glue but because I did not want to damage the embroidered flowers just in case all the rhinestones wear off, I decided to use gem glue instead.
Unfortunately, I didn't have any. So, off to Spotlight I went.
After getting the hang of it, I managed to complete the embellishments in a couple of days.
As usual, after each project is finished, I just had to try on the outfit and it was pretty. My mom was passing by as I was posing in front of the mirror and she too liked it. I just asked her casually if she wanted to try it on and so she did. I thought it fit better on her and offered her the dress instead of keeping it for myself.

This would also be the first embellishment project that was not meant to be mine. Arh well. There's always a first to anything, right?
Even if I don't get to wear it, at least I am happy because someone else likes it. Mom wears it often to her religious classes.
