Choosing fabric. Light weight net, beads, ribbon, silver thread and needle. There are several layers so that it isn't transparent.
The layers were gathered and sewn onto a ribbon, then the back seam was sewn inside out. A slot was left unstitched to allow for ease. Kirscha may be tiny, but she has big hips!
The top is made from two sections of net gathered and then stitched together using a large bead then sewn onto the front of the ribbon. Note beads were added inside the underskirt layers of net for interest. The top net came with the reflective dots.
Finished dress. Kirscha in her fairy wig.
The back is not perfect, but it does fit. The ribbon ends were glued and allowed to dry. A slot was cut into the longer one and a bead sewn on the other forming a neat closure that has little bulk. It's difficult on something with a 2cm waist!
No straps as I felt they would be too bulky.
The finished dress!
Next time I'll use less layers as they are too bulky. She needs more room to move as she's so amazing to pose.
