Pattern: Simplicity 5006 (modified at neckline)
Fabrics: Lt. pink casa satin from Joanne's, light pink netting, white denim for interlining
Beads and Extras: Gold and silver bugle and seed beads, clear swarovski round and marquis shaped rhinestones, light pink swarovski rhinestones, 2 yards of stranded rhinestones from Joannes. I literally lost count of the rhinestones after 1000.
Pink and Light Pink feather boas: 15 in all...5 on each hip/back and 5 in the back. I actually have added a few more in the past year for fullness!
Shoes: t-strap Nine West sandals from ebay. I added the rhinestones with E-6000 glue. I am thinking about upgrading to a more screen-accurate dyeable pump before I wear it again.
Gloves: opera-length white gloves...dyed pink. I'd like to upgrade these to dyed leather as well, but we'll see...........
Jewelry: Clear rhinestone chandelier earrings and lots of stretch rhinestone bracelets....'diamonds' are a girl's best friend! I'm still collecting bracelets to stack up my wrists!
*I even found the perfect little pink satin purse with diamonds at the handles at Claire's for $3!
Events: D*C '07, '09, '10; AdventureCon '10, Dallas AllCon '11
Hi, I'm turning 18 at the end of summer and I really want to have a totally epic moulin rouge party. So, I was wondering if you were interested in renting this costume for a couple of days. I've already looked around and have found nothing close to what I can afford, and I know how to sew but not well enough to make this.. If you not interested I totally understand. But if you are that would be fantastic! : )
ReplyDeleteSame question pretty much but for my 21st birthday!
ReplyDeleteThis is truly incredible. Would you ever make this again a la commission?
