Arwen's Coronation - Neck Line Beading Detailing and Lace Fabric

The sleeve fabric info is <here>

The basic fancy fabric is easy to figure out.  The catch... what is the beading pattern on the underdress' neck and the fax sleeve trim.  Here we present pictures with numerous enhancements and lighting.

Neckline close-up Same view, altered in color to show different detail. Good detail of the small band of green and silver embrodery
Neckline darkened slightly to show the width of the bands Good view of the crown and the bands
     
 
     
Probably the best for the neck design

Sleeve detailing, darkened to show the fabric.  After seeing the original, can confirm that this is not Photoshoped.  It really has this rough a look.  Beads just on top of the same fabric. (Standee photo) (or High rez here) (or high rez here)
   
   
The thing to note in this patterns is that the lace fabric extends all the way down to the joint of the silk velvet.  There are just bands of beads and cord and extra beading making this a false trim. Close up of the same sleeve.  There are frosted bugles on either side of the row of silver cord.  The center uses the same beads, cords and some of the pearls that we see on the beaded fabric.
 
  Darkened. Enlargement of lower sleeve detail. It has just been beaded with sequins on top. (Standee Photo)

Making Tip: If you can't find the right fabric, we have a mini-tutorial on how to create an overlace that gives the same effect.
