Victorian Vampire

















Happy belated Halloween! I got to wear this gown for a bit to take these photos yesterday, and it must be the first time I have dressed up on Halloween itself for a very long time.

I've been working on this 1880's gown for the last month, documenting the process over on YouTube. I'll be making a day bodice, a ball gown bodice (sleeveless, more open neckline...), and a few more fixes on these skirts too...but before then I have to take a bit of a breather! This silk was from SilkBaron, but they are out of this shade currently. The color was called Elphaba and it is jusssst sunning really.

This really is a dream project and gown for me. I hope you like it! I'll take some less "vampy" photos too when I finish the day bodice next ;) 



PS: Also, I didn't magically grow this much hair, 'tis all false!

  2. Dear Bianca,
    Shall I say delightful? Or fearfully frightenly delightful?
    It's a super dress, and the trims and accessories and location are just right. Will have to go find the video series.

    Very best,

  3. It's so pretty! I have an 1889ish party this weekend and have been repeatedly watching your videos to keep me motivated. Major inspiration!

  4. Lovely Bianca,

    This delicious confection is absolutely stunning! A feast for the eyes! I can barely wait to see the companion pieces...I am quite certain that they will be just as stunning. I adore bejeweled insects, and I love your bee design/logo/tattoo. I can just imagine the comb centered (reminds me of a mantilla) and draped with black lace. I am in awe of your talent! Bellisima!

    Side note: With your make up done that way you looked so very familiar. Who? Then it struck me...You quite resemble a young Demi Moore. Google it! It's uncanny.

  5. This outfit is just stunning, it is so beautiful. You are very talented, it must have taken hours of work. I watched your YouTube vampire video yesterday, it really made me smile.
