That's one of the moments, when you simply have to stop and acknowledge how awesome your life is. |
I really need some sparkly bracelets to wear with this dress. |
Smirk comes with the feathers. Beading along the silver trim is still a (expensive) work in progress. |
Bodice clearly needs adjusting a little bit, because it streched out along the neckline as you can see. 3% of lycra be damned... Hair by Ms.Nelly. |

Year: 1908-1909
How historically accurate is it?: 85%. Silhouette is right, but the satin isn't really right despite looking the part.
Hours to complete: Around 20h for the dress. Beading is still not finished.
First worn: 15.05.16
Total cost: I'm not sure how much I spent in total - 40$ at least.
No matter how hard you try, looking on point in the middle of the night is clearly not really an option. |
