Pretty Flower dog Bridal gown in the making

A customer asked me to make a bridal dress for her dog, who she is calling her Flower Dog.
She gave me a description of her own wedding dress, which included:
White lace, western style, rustic, layers of ruffles and lace, and some bling.
Her bridal colors are turquoise and brown, with a touch of yellow and white.
Her malti-poo is white, and she wants color and some lace.
I drew a few sketches and the decision was a turquoise satin skirt, with some white overlay. She did not want a train, but she liked my idea of the lace cascading down the back


The cutting and stitching begins:


Now to figure out how to get the lace to casade and still keep the pretty finished edge. I decided to piece it in levels:
And it looks like this:
Added some organza ruffles, and a nice big satin bow:
And now to get some of the other bridal party colors in there. I added some brown ribbon:
And some yellow flowers:

Finished dress with some matching hair bows.
