Ive always wanted to make an elegant and beautiful costume, well I finally got that chance, when I chose to make Doll. I had used roughly around 230 roses for this costume for the head dress and petticoat, surprisingly the head dress holds most of the roses. I hand sewed each one on which ended up being very time consuming, since I had to first pull the roses apart and reconstruct them before the sewing began. I created my own cage skirt out of wire hangers to help support the rose petticoat. I added many gems, beads, pearl beads, and sequins to add all the fun detail to the corset and skirt, I as well added them to the parasol. All together the costume came out beautiful.
