Recently I received a phone call from a lovely gal named Sue.
She requires a Faerie costume for a garden party she sponsor's each year at her beautiful home in Three Lakes WI. on July 30th.
What fun...right?
She arrived a few days later with 2 laundry baskets filled with fabrics and trims she has been collecting over the years for just such a project.

We spoke about her requirements:
Elegant full length gown
with
Covered arms(she is after all over 30)

This first sketch I did for her is more along the lines of the reference material she brought along by Nene Thomas but reflecting wear ability, the sleeve requirement and available material and time constraints.
The dark green velvet seemed a bit oppressive for a summer party so I broke the surface up a bit by stamping a gold filigree design on it.
Still feels heavy to me though.
