Contrast & Completion of Ashley's Passage Garment

This is to show you how a garment can change design and style before it is completed. Now it does not happen often; but when it does, you know it was changed by God. I wanted to share with you the progresion of photos.

Now with that all said... There were a few ladies that helped work on this garment.  If I could add a zoom, that would give you a clearer picture of the style. :)

If you know anything of sewing and design, I will try and describe it.

*There are scattered beads all over the bodice front.
*Box Pleated shirt attached to the bodice.
*Sheer sleeves attached by a few beads.
*Pleated Belt.
*Pleated Neckline of purple, to contrast.

Would you carry a shoulder bag....

Made of Neck Ties?

Okay, so I have a mother in law, that insist on me making a shoulder bag of neck tie... :)

I am looking for some imput from my readers...
Comment below, if you would use one or not use one.
It would be interesting to see one really made, but I feel like I need a push :) to make it happen.

I will post pictures, when I have one made!
