TREATMENT.REPORT
\n1. I removed tacking stitches at both sides of CF at neck to have better access to the netting of the modesty piece.
\n2. I tacked down the gold netting of the modesty piece and sewed a layer of netting over the original netting.
\n3. I tacked down the gold netting on the back of the bodice.
\n4. I removed a snap at the back left shoulder (to be reattached).
\n5. I sewed a layer of netting over the gold netting that I tacked down at the back of the bodice.
\n6. I reattached the snap at the back left shoulder over the netting.
\n7. I sewed in a few stitches of black thread and tied the thread to loose pieces of thread on the dress where bead strands were coming
\nundone.
\n8. I took off the snap at the top left shoulder on the back of the bodice, moved it over, and re-sewed the snap to the dress in its new
\nposition.
\n9. I took out the stitches at the right back of the skirt where the net wraps around from the front and attaches to the back and sewed on a
\nblack snap in this location.
\n10. I took out the stitches of the right side seam in the gold organza of the skirt and re-sewed it.
\n11. I used black thread to re-stitch the hem of the bottom layer of the black netting of the skirt, stitching about every half inch and going
\nback on the stitch every other stitch.
\n12. I stitched up a big hole at the bottom of the black net with black thread.
\n13. I steamed the bottom of the gold organza of the skirt to try and remove some of the wrinkles.
\n14. I covered the bottom hem of the gold organza in the skirt with conservation netting and sewed the netting on, coming up about a half
\ninch on either side of the skirt.
\n15. I reattached the loose piece at the right shoulder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
