dress up paper dress challenge

Yay! I made it. Time for the Dress Up challenge at Alice and Camilla and here is my dress....or actually  my dresses. I ended up making two. Yes two because I wasn't too happy with the first one so I tried another one. But then I reworked the first one and ended up liking both of them. I thought I would just share both since October is my favorite month.

It's time for a Halloween Ball. An early evening gala at a an old spooky mansion. Where chandeliers seemingly sway in time to a haunted waltz. And candlelight reveals shadows of ghosts from another waltz danced long ago.

As the moon rises above the tree tops our witch changes into a more sinister gown with raven wings as black as night. Her gown rustles softly as she steps into an enchanted October evening.

I first made this dress with sleeves then decided it looked too much like a bathrobe. The wings are a damask taffeta ribbon but the pattern is hard to see in the pic. I liked it better after I cut off the sleeves.

These October dresses were having way too much fun that they asked to stay out a little while longer. I'll have to convince them to hop into the wardrobe later but for now I think I'll join them at the old spooky mansion. Thank you for stopping by.
