dragonfly dress


My HB and I both forgot to take our cameras to the dance, so I only have a few pictures of my dress from just before we left, and I was in such a hurry to go, I didn't notice my tail was so crooked until we got there.  (And for some reason, my man didn't say anything while he was taking the photos.)  But you get the idea!

 



 

Even more unfortunately, the only picture I have of the front is this super dorky one where I am making a funny face and giving my HB a thumbs-up.


 

I ended up making the wings by simply layering glittery poly organza and buckram and using a dense ziz-zag to overcast the edges.  I trimmed the excess and mounted them on a square of silk.


I hope that some of the other folks who were there with cameras have some pictures thay can share with me!  (hint, hint)  Actually, the more I look at these, the more I think I just need to get dressed up again and take some better photos, with me paying more attention, and in daylight.

The dance was great fun.  We had a good turnout and I think everyone had a good time.  Yay!

Neat! I've been enjoying watching it take shape in your journal.
