Half completed Tutubeads Lily Dress

I started beading this Lily Dress by Tutubeads yesterday afternoon and my progress was slow due to upcoming exams...
This dress requires me to mix two different colour of Toho seed beads together and then bead with whatever colour i picked up.
Materials used:
1) Toho seed beads #935
2) Toho seed beads #966
3) 3mm Swarovski pearls in Night Blue
4) 3mm Swarovski bicones in Crystal Metallic Blue 2X
5) 3mm Swarovski bicones in Violet 1X
6) 6mm Czech beads in Jet

Prior mixing(this photo was taken in the late afternoon which explains the darkness of the colours)
After mixing(this photo was taken during noon time)
Finished beading the top of the dress.
Upon completing the top, I thought that I had beaded an extra row as it does not fit nicely on the mannequin and I cross checked the number of beads with the pattern again and again.
Finally continue to bead it after being sure that what I had beaded was correct.
The bottom of the dress sets the loose top in place although there was still obvious gaps between the mannequin and the beaded front and back of the top.
Moving on to step number 3 to bead the first "strand of feather"(mum commented that it looks just like the peacock feather).

"5 strands of feathers" and still beading...
