On going work on a red beaded show girl outfit for a photo shoot, is taking me forever.To the point I really wish I hadn’t started it.
It's been over a course of two months now of sewing beads and sequins on.
The bra alone would have taken a solid two weeks of working on it if I hadnt got so bored with it,it was the under cup where I have added a string of bugle/tube beads to the center of each sequin that covered the area, that was nearly the undoing of it all and me chucking it in the recycle crate and calling it quits on the whole outfit.
Looking back now I should have sewen a strand every other sequin for the under cup, it would have looked the same and not weighed so much in the end .
I have found It's easier to take a red bra and thong of the same colour/shade to use as a base to work on, than to have to make them from scratch as it saves a whole lot of time.
The added pieces for the neck, arm and sash pieces are strips of red satin fabric cut and sewn to shape with added hooks, eyes and snaps for fit.

Anyway, kudos to you for persevering, and for not putting out your eyes with a beading needle. It's very lovely work.
You do sound a little depressed about your project though. Maybe sound a little.... happier?
Mumm,was actualy a bit depressed about it in the middle of the project as I didnt relize myself how long it was going to take, just didnt want people to think it was a quick fix and make do to get it done this way.
So more as a warning ? 'This project a gives you eye strain and hand ache' type of thing :)
But thank you for the comment .
