This is one I have been asked to make for a Mothers Day gift and I love, love, love it.
The dress form had to be black and silver. I painted the stand and hat peg in matt black and the skin has had two coats of a "Flesh" acrylic paint.
I painted the dress shape in white for a base coat and then I add Silver Gilding flakes to it.
The straps to the dress are Diamante from Want2Scrap
I even added in a necklace with some fine silver chain.
The skirt is black taffeta ruffles and along the side opening I added in some lace.
The braiding at the top of the waistband is black and silver.
The large silver flower hides the Velcro that holds the skirt together.
You can see the silver under layer in this photo.
And I added an even larger silver flower to the stand. And then came the hat ...
It even has a small hat pin in there too.
And I am really pleased with this one and I know that the person it is going to will treasure it
Hugs xx
Absolutely Gorgeous
