/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

See I want mine to have lots of influence from other eras, as I, and most my family, love anything pre-1920's.Especially my Granddad, who was born in 1917 and saw the tail end of Edwardian fashion.

Because I'm >>8477539 anon the dress'd be full backed.

I think two skirts, the first huge and OTT, with wide hips on panniers which would be made from lace and taffeta, to be worn for the cerormoy and photos. Then another smaller version with a very small train for the reception.

I think the corset and skirt made from satin, in a nice antique beige colour, with venetian lace in a slightly darker colour. And lots of little beading in rose and white all over the lace.

>CGL bit
I'm so fussy on the lace now because of lolita, that if the dress was made in even slightly less than perfect lace, I'd burn it. And the lace I like is about $50/pm, and I'd need about 9 meters for this. Then all the other work would make this so expensive.
But I don't want to make it myself, because I want the day to be perfect. If I make it myself I'd be worried all day about what people thought about my sewing. Plus it would be less magical when I put it on.
