I added a red belt to Wednesday's post and call it finished. I used #15 seed beads and Miyuki beading thread for the little dress. The top front is peyote stitch, the rest of the dress is a net stitch.
This is what the mini torso looks like before the beads. I purchased them from a Japanese company called tutu.
New Project - the Mini Torso
A local bead artist, who is the wife of one of my students, encourged me to stitch one of these little beaded dresses. These mini torso dresses are her specialty. I ordered several of the little dress forms from a Japanese company called tutu. The company also sells bead dress kits, but I only bought the dress forms because I have many beads and many ideas for how to make the dress. The company promptly sent my order and I had it in only two or three days. I should be able to finish this one soon.
