At the top I am adding bead as you can see in the picture using 22 gauge wire so it will shape the top instead of gapping. Having trouble keeping the line straight as the wire distorts as I use a taaniko twist on it, but it will add to the charm, even if I say so myself.
I most probably will not dye it as I quite like it white. The garment is suppose to be a sea Goddess so there will be other ways too liken it to the sea.
