Description
First of all, meet Eva! She’s my manequin, I bought her as a birthday gift for myself(I turn 22 next week), and I thaught that the first dress I design on her should be my birthday dress. So I made a brown dress, with showing darts,and pleats, from an old pair of cottonwool pants, and for the sheer part I used stockings…yes stoskings!:) But I spent like 30$ on rhinestones and the metallic back zipper, and hours of manual labor ghand sewing the 70 rhinestones on the dress!. And on the back photo you can see that I’m skinnier than Eva!

brown cottonwool, brown stockings, 70 rhinestones, long metallic zipper

Thank you Kelepso! Now looking at the dress, I think it needs more rhinestones:)), but maybe I’m not objective enough, and don’t know when to stop.:)

Well maybe you can put a few more in the middle so it’s gradual application of rhinestones from the top to bottom, but on the other hand adding more rhinestones makes the dress tread a thin line of a pagent dress (on the top). I think it’s fine regardless of what you decide to do.

I’m leaving it as it is, and maybe I’ll be more bold on the next dress I make:)

Thank you:) Yes the rhinestones were a bit expensive, but without them it would have been a plain pleated dress, that I would have to accsesorize a lot.
