Dress Making

This is the dress I have been working on. What I did was, I bought a plain black dress from a 2nd hand store ($8.00) and then built all the pieces and parts around it. They are then sewn on, and the patterns on the pieces I uses fabric glue. The big glass beads are sewn on, and I added the chains and other trinkets. This is intended as a sort of costume / evening gown. It is something I could wear to Blizzcon, or maybe as a stylish "gothic" style dress somewhere. I call it a "lich" dress because my inspiration came from the Lich in the Warcraft game series.

This is the plain dress, and the pieces I cut out.

These are the pieces I made, they are in their various states.

I am working on another dress after this one. It is Matrix themed - it is a black dress with "Code Rain" falling down on it. The "code rain" is going to be swarovski crystal rhinestones set on the dress in individual lines. The bottom trim has a band of green sequins. I purchased the rhinestones, I just have to wait a few weeks for them to come over here. It has much less sewing, but a lot of sparkly rhinestones. The effect will be stunning!

These are the sorts of things I can do besides illustrate.
