Quite honestly, this was one of the most difficult outfits I have ever made. The inspiration to me was Nessa's lovely Neo-Queen Serenity as well as a lucky find on the fabric sale rack of the double georgette for a dollar a yard.

The top of the dress' understructure was fairly complicated as well, requiring a corset to be used as a countersupport for the weight of the gown. The beading was done entirely by hand with individual glass pearls which were strung and sewn to the dress. Details not visible are the beads in the hair, the ring, and earrings. All of the small pieces came together beautifully, although the blue hibiscus flowers were difficult to find and only came in bulk.
