Kelly's new wedding dress! Except for a few small details, it is completely done, as of March 19th, 2008!

Here is a detail of the bodice, showing the lace overlay and small rosette, as well as the band added as an off-the-shoulder sort of sleeve.

Here is another detail picture, showing the lace overlay better.

Here is a detail of the lower hem. There are rosettes on six ruched-up areas around the hem, each of which exposes lace trim beneath.


More pictures will follow, as the other dresses come along!!!
Please feel free to comment!
Bye!

This gown is modeled after a picture I saw of the "Biedermeier" time period, an epoch in German history pretty much synonymous with the Regency period in England.

Childhood attempts

At age seven, I decided to run away to sea


At age ten I tried to join the Merry Men and got sidetracked by malevolent elves.


At age 15 I joined Robert of Locksley and his band of Merry Men
