Garment District Beading Expedition

On Saturday, Auntie Amy, Joy ee ee, Mum, and I headed out to LA to find some beads and sequins to balance out the niniji flowers on my dress. :) We ended up at Berger's Beads and found many of the beads and sequins I needed to match the dress. After much squinting and measuring (yay for Joy ee ee's tape measure), we were able to find the large teardrop pearl beads, the (what ended up being) Swarorski flat backed sew on crystal beads, the clear seed beads, the clear and white sequins (though one was French cup and one was flat, and they were both supposed to be flat), and the silver cylinder beads. The most expensive were the Swarorski crystals, and it turns out that we might have needed to get more (Mum was looking at the configured patterns and there are A LOT more crystal beads than what we first thought)...but I think we'll work with what we've got first.
