Gems purchased at JoAnn’s were hand stitched to the bodice by Mikal.

Sequins were glued  on one at a time in between the gems. The whole family got involved separating the hologram cupped sequins from the thread chain.

Bridal glue from Washington Millinery Supply  was used. It really works. I used it on Mikal’s wedding gown 24 years ago The sequins were purchased on line.

Thank you Kelly and Karyssa!  Mikal barely slept for a week.
