I'm so in awe and full of (well meaning) jealousy. I had plans to make one of my own, but I can't imagine it will ever compare. Well done. Honestly.
May I ask how you tackled the embroidery?

The embroidery is all tambour. I made a tutorial for my friend Scott, but you are more than welcome to view it!

Oh my gosh, you are so incredible!!!! This is absolutely FABULOUS!! I loved the original artwork, but this dress is even more beautiful! How long did it take you to make this dress, including the embroidery and all of the sewing involved?

I looked on my Journal, and the first time I posted about it was Aug 19th of last year. Quite a bit of that time was taken up by the caul... Thats not pictured here. A Caul is the golden hair net. That I finished the beginning of October. I started the embroidery sketches on Aug 27th and finished the entire skirt on Dec 30th. I did a video tutorial of the tambour embroidery... 3 of them actually on YouTube for my friend Scott, but you are more than welcome to view them:

I've been working pretty steady for most of February and so I only just finished the dress on April 2nd. I did a full write up on the construction on LJ Dress Diaries comm... you need to be a member of the comm to view my entry. It's here:

I hope that answers your questions. And thanks for the praise! The support and kind words have really been so awesome. Thanks again. :)
