Cory's Dress

For Cory's dress, we once again, started with the wonderful fashion statement that is the 1980s wedding dress.  Once the sleeves were popped off, the beauty began to shine through.

Like Molly's, we dyed the dress--first with yellow, then with a light brown.  SO much better with color on it!!  What is so great about this process, is that the satin picks up the dye differently than the lace, due to the different fibers used, o the detail really stands out.

From there, stock fabric was added as trim and the bustle and darker beads were applied to the bodice to add depth...
