What I'm Wearing

Renaissance dress, made to be worn as a bride's maids dress for my friend Stacey's wedding... Proud to say.. I didn't buy this dress, made with Love to show off the inner me, for Stacey's magickal day

Who Made it:

I, Made this dress by hand... As well as the head piece, months of work.

nights where my eyes would no longer focus, and my fingers were bleeding.

I loved every minute of making this dress, and I didn't want to take it off.

Tips and Tricks

  • I would advice using a sewing machine, instead of sewing it all by hand...
  • I wanted it to be hand made, and I will be adding bead work and ribbons to dress it up some more, I ran out of time just sewing it all together.
  • But the dress will be worn to faires in the future
