Making a Charles Worth Peacock Gown | Part Three
It's been, quite literally, months in the making - but I'm happy to FINALLY be sharing the third video about this project!
This part of the project was probably the most familiar to me in terms of techniques, but ended up being the hardest part to actually make since I had way less guidance in terms of design. You don't see much of the bodice in the fashion plate at all, and coming up with something that works well with both the ridiculous underskirt AND ridiculous overskirt was...a ridiculous challenge!
But I'm happy with what I ended up making. And I hope you are too!
Sorry for the delay with this one - It has been plagued with software crashes and took many attempts to finally get fully rendered! But here it is!
Also - my weekend so far has consisted of a box of 200+ patterns from the 1930s getting lost in the mail, completely failing to bleach my hair (it just...didn't do anything, at all) and spending 4 hours at the emergency vet because my moms dog is allergic to wasps (don't worry - she is OK now). I hope your weekend is off to a better start than mine!

The front of the bodice gives me sailor moon vibes.
So so stunning!
This was soooo good! So much work went into this, and the end result is absolutely wonderful! I'm glad your mom is ok!
This gown is so gorgeous and I hope you'll take some worn photos! I am SO EXCITED to see you make the headdress!! Hope you're well, thanks for sharing! <3
Thank you! I'm not sure where to photograph it - it isn't a dress that has a natural looking environment lol! But I definitely plan to.
Angela! This is sooooo amazing. You really have outdone yourself again. I am amazed how you are able to do that each time! To me, it is perfect as is and doesn't need the stars on the bodice. The bodice somehow feels like a cloudy sky on a sunny day, which is a nice contrast to the starry night of the skirt.
That is such a nice way to describe it, thank you! :)
