Well I figured it out. I WAS over thinking it. No need to sew or glue or freak out. After a botched sewing attempt I finally realized. This is not an outfit that is ready to wear. It's a you assemble it WHEN you're going to wear it type deal. Also I will need to invest in TONS of double sided toupe tape. I want no risk of flashes. I still need to wash the tooth and find/make the arm band and earings. I'll post pictures of my hair trial run soon.... But this is the dress with the correct fabric and leather strapping. I plan on probably taking a good three feet off the train. It's ginormous!
should I weather the leather a bit? I also need to find a way to make that arm band. I can't find anything that would be satisfactory.
