So I've been sat sewing flowers onto the dress for what seems like forever, but I love the outcome and what it feels like it represents.

I should have thought about how the decoration alters the shape and hang of the dress - it makes it slightly stiff on the one side, and all the stitches pulls the fabric up at the side by a few millimetres, but the outcome is still better than I expected so I'm pleased.

All I can imagine now is a dress covered entirely in flowers, and how beautiful it would look and feel to wear ^_^

Only Make Believe

So as part of the Brother's Grimm project 'Only Make Believe' I chose to focus solely on Cinderella.

I decided to make her a series of dresses, and this is my Cinderella in her most recent dress. White satin - like a tiny wedding dress.

I'm very proud of this particular dress as it took me so much longer to make due to attempting to do 'perfect' seams, and adding the collar! The collar which was almost impossibly fiddly I don't think I'll be able to create another if I wanted.

I'm now going to go on adding decoration to this dress before the next step up - gold!
