Absolutely stunning, great work! I’ve done some Victorian dresses for myself and friends for Steampunk use, I tend to like the Victorian lady look the most. I can see a lot of hours and work went into this. I hope you get the chance to wear it one day, perhaps to a show or the Opera?

Absolutely amazing work – your attention to detail is inspiring :) I really love the fact that you made this with ‘no where to wear it’…this has been a goal of mine for a while now and you’ve inspired me to start thinking seriously about what my ‘dream dress’ will be. When you do wear it, please let us know where you wore it to and how awesome you felt wearing it! :)
