Construction Notes

This was a pretty straightforward gown made from Casa satin and organza. The pattern didn’t require much altering, except adding the side slit. It is lined and boned down to the waist. The hardest part was figuring out the organza pieces underneath, which also serve as the lower lining and are French seamed. I am proud of mastering the rolled hem on my serger to create the look her finished edges have. I also sculpted and assembled the rose earrings. I needed killer heels to make sure I was taller than our Sailor Venus. I found a pair of shoes in a suede fabric that were a breeze to make the perfect color with fabric paints. The roses on the dress/ankles also had to be hand painted. I chose to carry a pink rose stem because it looks nicer than a green one like in the illustration. The necklace pendents were cast by .
