I kept the colours to black and silver and added in some "Bling" for good measure.
I have used Gilding flakes on her right shoulder and in areas along the bottom of the form ... and in those areas I have added in the Diamante swirls from Want2Scrap
I also used them to decorate the base along with some black and white flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts
There is a spotty bow along the base too for an extra touch.
Then I made a tulle underskirt and edged it with black lace.
I used some Velcro dots to fasten it in place around the waist of the dress form.
But it needed more ... and in my stash I found some black material that would be perfect for what I wanted.
So over the top of the underskirt I made a black over-skirt.
I edged the waistband with black ribbon and added in the bow to one side, and put a Diamante in the centre to cover the knot.
This skirt was also held in place using the small Velcro dots.
I made it so that the lace to the underskirt would be showing as I thought that was a pretty touch.
Now all ladies need a hat and so here is the one to go with this dress form.
For this I have used the same material as the skirt... the same flowers and spotted ribbon but on this I have added in some feathers.
And so here she is all dressed up ... and this is another one that I am very pleased with.
I have already been asked how the hat was made and so that will be in a video ... coming soon !!
Anyway now I need to concentrate on Christmas because believe it or not I still have NOT got a turkey.
I will be catering for my family that day and they all like turkey with all the trimmings.
So if I don't get the chance to post again before the big day I would like to wish you all a very
Merry Christmas
Hugs xx
