My Dangerous Liaisons Costume

Started as an old wedding dress from a local thrift store

I collected things over a few years, and had thought I might make the dress originally into Victorian or Edwardian, but I am so glad I chose French Court. The Burgunday shows off the lace so much nicer. After shooting my student film I added a wig that I designed myself from pictures. and added a mask that is hard to see but it is there. I used bobbie pins to secure it into the wig. I had a purse, which I spend a few days sewing on the beads from the lace fringe onto the purse. And ripped apart a paper fan and used lace instead and left over burgandy eyelash lace from the dress to finish the edge. and had just enough scraps to make toe clips for the shoes. So please with how it turned out.

    I am presently sewing lots of items that I have collected from Thrift stores, Goodwill, etc. My closet is really brimming! I want to make a replica 1920's style dress but need a source for the fluid nylon type tulle. Have you found any - looks like you may have used some in the beautiful remake! Congratulations - its great!
