Almost a Bodice

[atherleisure]

I nearly finished the bodice of my 1897 evening dress last weekend. I just have to make up and set the sleeves in it. I washed the lace for the sleeves during the week so I'd like to get those in this weekend.

I started the beading on the skirt and am about a third of the way through the first side. The beading can be a bit hard on the back because I spread it out on a table and end up rather hunched over it. If I thought I were going to take up beading intensively, I'd definitely have to come up with a better solution. For a couple weeks worth of time on one dress, it's not worth it. I'll just try to alternate days of beading with days of doing other sewing.

Best of luck finding a solution. I have ended up needing chiropractic for that same reason and it is honestly not worth it (despite the gorgeous results)

I'm trying to spread it out and only work on it in brief stints.
