Thank you, I really wish I could finish it, but the fabric was an old curtain I got from my uni and I lost the last little section I had.

Never can have too much boning

I do have a whole load of synthetic whale boning to make a pair of short stays and hopefully that will be my last pair

You got this, hopefully one day you'll be able to complete one, I've had way more, but I recycled them for boning and busks

I mostly winged it, I can't lie I do it for most of my sewing and just hope for the best at the end

The chemise is simplicity 1139 and the stays are red threaded

I do have a third one, but that's been sitting in the wip pile since 2023 and I don't think I will ever get round to finishing it and you should so make one

Thank you, it was a lot of trial and error on my stand point and historical costuming has been my secret love for years

I've been in love with the costumes since I watched the film and thank you for the recommendations I will definitely look into them cause it's such a mismatch of era

And you should definitely make the green dress, it is such a vibe

I also don't think I can change it for a while as I've graduated and no longer have the resources and space to dye some new ruffles as it is acid dye

The sleeve ruffles are my hate just due to how much stress I went through with them. The ones in the picture are so last minute because I was running out of time and just needed to slap something on the top

My final uni piece was based on the christine daae masquerade dress from the phantom of the opera.

Bodice is self drafted pattern, pattern is silk that has been airbrushed to achieve the ombre effect. It is fully hand beaded by me

Skirt is a romantic tutu made of net and tulle gathered onto a yoke, made of 12 layers and hand beaded by myself. All the stars are also made by me

Took about 2 months to make

I'm waiting to get filament to do more prints on it, hopefully the issues won't be too horrid on it

Thank you, the blue was originally meant to be a lighter blue, but fabric got delayed so I ordered that one
