The Spotty Dresses!
And here we have one of my latest projects--a reproduction of a dress worn by Alexandra, Princess of Wales, and her sister, the Grand Duchess Maria of Russia. My friend Aubry and I made these together for the Costume Con 29 Historic Masquerade. We ended up winning Best in Show Presentation, Best in Class Documentation, and Judges' Choice for Excellence in Design Concept (workmanship). I'll eventually go into this dress in great detail, but for now, our finished dresses!

Awards all very much deserved! Fantastically lovely.
ReplyDeleteThese were amazing, and you both did an excellent job in recreating the originals. I can't wait to read all about the making of them.

What a clever project idea, and so beautifully executed! The tailoring is impeccable. Lovely job, both of you! I look forward to the detailed construction post!

Wow! Just stunning. I love the gowns! You look as though you stepped out of the photograph.
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks! You're all so sweet.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be making an evening version of this dress as well. I just like it too much to not get more use from it!
Oh how fun to see it finished! No wonder you won, you look fantastic!
