It's finished at last! Somewhere between 90-100 hours work. Madness.

I reversed the photo to help change things a bit and altered the dress. The pattern on the dress is based on a textile design panel fom 1881 by William Morris.It was originally designed for drapes in St James Palace.
My one big mistake in this is that I forgot I was going to add the fine reflections at the end with the aid of an eraser and I went ahead and sprayed it with fixative.

By request, I've added a detail of this to my scraps [link]
