• removed the lining
• new lining on the shoulder straps
• material on the sides of the bra had stretched, so I removed, the beading, gently washed and pressed it, and reattached
• fixed the black fringe. Attached another layer of short iridescent fringe.
• made new fringe swag for the bra.
• replace a few missing crystals, maybe only 3-4 were missing.
• redo blue beading
• add black sequins( from the extra pieces included) to the sides of the bra
• remove the skirt from belt
• make belt smaller, and finish the edges of where it was cut to expand it

still to do, hopefully this weekend

• encourage the bra cups to be more rounded
• sew the skirt to a waistband, maybe elastic
• add 2 more layers of swag bead to the bra
• shorten the blue and black skirts
• reline the bra and belt and one arm thing
• set the hooks for the right size for me
• add elastic if needed
• decide how I look with the waist thing, or isf I turn it into more bra straps.

and in the future, since i have some spare turquoise chiffon, maybe make harem pants (hate hate, but necessary sometimes) and better matching gauntlets
