I think I like the last set better, but these are nice too! Even though the dress is a bit of an odd fit for this location I really like how it looks against the warm tones of the backdrop. I’m so glad they let us take pictures there. 

I made the dress and headpiece in a week. It’s inspired by the dress in this Heinrich Mucke painting and how saints were depicted in Renaissance times. I made it from seven yards of foil printed sari fabric and five yards of polyester suiting. The neckline is embellished with gold sequins and seed beads to match the gold printing on the fabric.

The headpiece is made from skewers and dried roses~
