Kali Fairy Dress: Work in Progress photos

[dragonbond]

As part of her Introduction story, Kali will be having a shoot of her in the forest.. and the next shoot would be her capture shoot. So I've been working on her "Fairy dress". I don't think it came out fairy-ish though. In my design I wanted it to have zig-zag ends, but I remembered trying that out before and hemming it in was bad and lining it

Oooooh, the beaded flower is very nice! I like that a lot. And ya know, you don't have to always "finish" a hem. The dress for my CH Unique Runaway Bride had raw edges for the hem. Depending on the fabric, you can run a line of semi-tight zigzag near the bottom edge and then fringe the fabric. That would look nice for a fairy dress, IMO.

Is there a photo of the hem I can take a look at?

I might redo it and make version 2!

Thanks for clear informative photos! I think I will have a try at handkerchief dresses in some remnant fabric before trying on the chiffon. Those dresses are gorgeous, there must be layers underneath, puffs out wonderfully!

Thanks again! =)

Lovely beading!

I agree, a dark plum sash or belt around the waist would be nice. Gathered lace on the edge of of the skirt could be pretty, but you don't want to distract from the beading...

Thanks... I'll have to practice beading more and make it less messy ^_^;;

MMm.. I'll finish this dress and have a practice shoot and see what I need for the actual setup, but then I'll try making Version 2, with a handkerchief-style skirt for the fairy look.. with beading too of course..

the beaded flower is so pretty~! ^___^ I can't wait to see everything finished and read her introduction story~ you are doing a great job!

[dragonbond]

Yay thanks for the support! (I'm finally doing their stories after all these years! -___-;;)

And yet I haven't started on Rathi's yet!

I think the hankerchief type of skirt would really look nice and add on to the 'fairy' look. Wings haven't started yet... -_-; But I found a nice dark blue jewel for the back part!!! Yeay!

[dragonbond]

Whoops forgot to reply to this, but blue jewel sounds cool! Oh my royal fairy-imp-pixie...

Gahhh she looks so sweet in that dress! And that headband increases her cuteness too!

Pretty, pretty fabric. *__*

[dragonbond]

I really like the fabric! But chiffon is so expensive man.. >_>;;

Love the headband too.. makes her look so innocent ey?
