Just sharing-she won first prize in her Corpse Bride outfit! Sometimes it pays to have a mum who is a textile artist-for those who would like to know, an old sheet was tea-dyed,scrawled on with oil pastels and charcoal,torn into shape,with trails at the back and stitched with chunks of dress net over the top . The veil is on a re-purposed plastic alice band using silk chiffon and one of my own handmade flowers, created to look especially tattered and scraggy and dyed grey on tips of the petals. Top it off with white net gloves ( model's own!),a few strings of pearls and a heap of attitude and you have winning combo!
