I’ve been forgetting to take my materials pics. I didn’t use the ribbons because I had a pair of blue heels and I’m just not confident on attempting to make stilettos yet, but maybe soon. Nail art rhinestones. The floral is something I’ve had from my grandmother for many years, still a little bit of it left. I’m pretty sure I acquired these two aqua remnants at separate times. This is why I never leave a remnant bin un-scavenged; might find something that matches up perfectly later.

I”m satisfied with how this came out. Evening wear is never my favorite for some reason. Making the rhinestone stud earrings and hat pins was super easy so I’ll keep that kind of thing up I guess. The rhinestone hairnet was a last minute addition but I also had aqua tulle, so why not? Gluing down almost 700 rhinestones over this whole outfit took awhile! Anyway I guess that’s it.

same pattern now with evening fabrics and the detail embellishment. this was my first time using puff paint and I had a lot of fun working with it! I think it came out ok. it’s really interesting to me to see the two different versions of this same outfit together and how different they look.

another cotton mock up. this was my first time making shoes and jewelry. I’ve been having trouble finding a good stretch knit in the remnants bins so I made the gloves out of part of the hose I used for the stockings; it worked well enough but I’d prefer them to be more opaque.

this was intended to be a simple cotton mock-up but I ended up being quite fond of it as a daywear look so I figured this was the perfect time to try the bedroom slipper pattern for some daytime cork-heeled wedges. I’m pretty happy with the results!
