The Venetian is taking shape

My Venetian is starting to take shape. It's amazing how colours appear so different in different lights and with different backgrounds. Above is my bodice before I added the gold braid to add class and to create the pocket for the boning. At this point I had hand sewn the arm holes and the majority of the base leaving both ends open to tuck under the braid and an opening to slide the boning into.

Here is the view from the front with the gold braid attached.The bodice is sitting oddly I swear the braid is straighter then it looks. below is the back of the bodice with the braid attached. The braid is gorgeous and changes the look of the bodice completely. I love the blue though.
