something there

Jason was kind enough to photograph my Belle dress at the park. He was really patient with me and it took a lot of tweaking, but we finally got the shot!

The costume is my version of Belle's dress, which I wanted much more gold than yellow, partially so I could work my way through a stash of scrap fabric, beads, and trims. All the roses are handmade, using a variety of techniques, and the bodice is hand-beaded with pearls, gold beads, and sequins. The skirt and shoulder drape have hundreds of sequins attached, for a little extra sparkle.
