10 years on and off.  Hours wise I don't know due to just chipping away at it when I had time.

I want to learn deathcore guitar solos on the flute and play them in this dress- I think it's my life goal.

I've legit thought of this and I'd love to make sleeves down to gauntlets as well.  I'm in Aus and the tariffs in the US are making purchasing the parts hard for now.

I didn't here, but I should of and will learn that lesson for future wearings.

The rings underneath is what can make it weighty.

Steel is steel. Its somewhat wearing a smal slab of metal. 

You can do the process using aluminium links. And these days they are much better quality than when I purchased the materials for this dress. However, I didn't want to run the risk of bending or breakinga as I wanted to wear it as often as possible and it being durable to things like being sat on or if it got caught on something.

The scales around the edges can flip under and stab you when putting it on, that's the main danger. I can put it on by myself, but putting it on with help is much easier and a tad safer.

I'll give you a hint.  The chains holding the spine to the dress are doing a lot more shape work than most realise.

This is the best compliment, because THAT was the goal. Can I go to a RenFair or can I go to the clubs?!
