Hello, I am planning to take on a ball dress as my next project and wonder if anyone may be able to advise me. I bought the pattern from Ageless Patterns and think it is a lovely gown. However, instead of the plain styling along the edge of the bodice I want to have swags of fabric or something like that along the front, shoulder, and neck seams. This isn't in the pattern but find it was very popular at the same (at least based on fashion illustrations). Should I ultimately just drape strips of fabric along the edge and sew it down? Also, the pattern called for epaulets on the shoulder and pearl bead embroidery which is funny, because I thought by looking at the illustration it was supposed to be just regular embroidery and decided I'd want pearl scrolls since my fabric is brocade. Just comes naturally I guess. Any recommendations on any of the above? Also, if anyone knows how to put long hair into a period style please contact me. Thank you very much for your time.
