And now, the big reveal!!
The original illustration:
And my dress:
41 yards of fabric
3000 glass pearls
180" hoop skirt
50 yards of ribbon and lace trim
dozens of hand-sewn ribbon roses
13 pounds
I'm tired.
But it was all completely worth it when Kinuko Craft came backstage and saw me!
Look how she reacted! I even managed to keep my dignity and not to act like a fangirl!
(Oh...and I also leveled up from Journeyman to Master with this dress and won a free entry to Costume Con 2019.)
Success.
