Red Winter Dress

This is my latest creation! It is very pretty and weighs a TON! Well, okay maybe not a ton...more like 5lbs. But that's still a lot of dress!!

The tiny gathers with beads on them took me hours to do. There are 94 beads total. The cape was a last minute thing that I put together in about half an hour. It is a velvet material and is fully lined. the skirt is 5 layers plus a petticoat that REALLY helped to keep me warm in this photo shoot.

I also made the pearl hair pins the morning of and it took about 15 minutes with drying time. I took bead pearls that matched the dress and threaded them on hair pins with just a drop of glue to keep them secure.
