first, this dress looks more complicated than it is. it’s basically a wrap dress.
the dress is made from a dark red fabric, and lined with somthing like satin of silk in the same color. my dress is not lined for 2 reasons: 1. i’m lazy, 2. israel is very hot and if this dress will be lind i will probably die during convention.
i got 8 meters of a dark red fabric and has plenty of leftovers.
Draping the Pattern

I started by draping the the pattern onto my dressform.
The Bodice

then i made a mockup and made some adjustments to my pattern.
i cutted it out of the fabric.
The Skirt

the next thing was the skirt. she has kind of a circle skirt, so the top has no gathers or pleats. i’ve made some calculations and cut the skirt panels.
this a wrap dress, so the skirt has two overlapping panels.
The Sleeves

the next thing is the sleeves. her sleeves are tight fitting from to above the elbow, and then they become big and fall to the floor.
i started by figuring out the pattern for the tight fitting part, made a mockup and then i cutted the sleeves.
The Necklace

first i made a pattern and cut the pieces out of cardboard.

then i covered each piece with hot glue.

i glued the red stone in the middle of one of the pieces.
i took some wire, and bent it and glued it to connect the pieces.

i painted it black, and then gold. than i formed it into shape, and that's it!
