beautiful dress! Good color!

[operafantomet]

Thank you! The colour is lovely, probably my favourite part of the dress (and a bit more green than it appears above).

Finished, and pretty! I think I have seen that fabric in a curtain store, it is very nice.

Yes, you've probably seen it at KID. They had it in green/golden and red/golden (maybe more, I don't remember). I was thrilled when it first appeared, because I had been looking for pomegranate fabrics for so long - and suddenly the KID stores was flooded with them!

Thank you for the nice comment. :)

Very pretty! I wish I could wear that color.

Thank you! My skin has a sort of olive/yellow-ish teint, so the colour is very right to me. I can never wear pure white, though (I look seriously sick in white) - so most accenting colour above are cream and not white.

I just adore the fabric and the color! I'll bet it's even more gorgeous in real life.

Thank you! As mentioned above, the fabric/colour is my favourite element in this project. Although most of my costume project has had a red or pink base, my favourite cololurs are green like above and moss green. But this is my only green porject for myself.... Strange. Must make more of those.... ;)

Lovely:) Is that shaping I see in the skirt? It hangs very nicely.

[operafantomet]

Thank you! :) The skirt is slightly gored, and gathered in the waist. It's also trained. When not wearing proper drawers or bumroll (something that will be added later on) it is a bit flatter than what I like, but it has a nice shape. Back view:
