The Spotty Dresses!

And here we have one of my latest projects--a reproduction of a dress worn by Alexandra, Princess of Wales, and her sister, the Grand Duchess Maria of Russia. My friend Aubry and I made these together for the Costume Con 29 Historic Masquerade. We ended up winning Best in Show Presentation, Best in Class Documentation, and Judges' Choice for Excellence in Design Concept (workmanship). I'll eventually go into this dress in great detail, but for now, our finished dresses!
