Step 20Voila! The cage portion of the dress is nearly complete!
'Twas a joyous moment indeed.
I recommend grinding off the edges of the wire to get rid of the poke-y bits. 226 individual brass wires circle the entire dress, so there are plenty of sharp pieces worth sanding down.
This is a good time to round up your hardware. I was able to order brass machine screws through smallparts.com for a much better price than I could find them locally. I also found some brass plated magnetic catch strips that I used as attachment pieces for holding the two sides of the dress together.
Casters were placed in their appropriate positions and I went through and made sure all of the hardware was where it needed to be.
I was amazed that I went through less than two propane canisters soldering this entire thing. I had no idea that they lasted that long!
