I have been working on a special display for my antique and gift shop that I have along with, My Old Historic House. It all started the other night when I watched ,"Project Runway," before I went to sleep, I said to my self, I could do that. I went to sleep and woke up a few minutes latter because of a loud storm we were having. So the rest of the night was spent in ." Awake Dreaming." That is when I thought about making a dress creation. I have no sewing machine so I thought, why not use the glue gin, staples and safety pins. And that is just what I did.

I had dress form in the shop, so I used it as my base. I have yards and yards of fabric that I have used in the past for window and other displays. I found a bunch of cheese cloth and a few yards of a stitched lace and a odd color of olive like green sheer. My friend Stacy makes a lot of restyled cloths and uses a lot of hand made flowers from cloth. This was one of my inspirations. I wanted it to be some what Victorian, but at the same time, a little bit Shabby Chic and Retro and almost modern. I am not sure all that makes sense.
I just started out and went with what ever happened. I am placing it up high, so I needed to over size the details ,so they would show up. Most of it I glued right to the dress form. The gathered skirt pieces were done with staples and then glued in place. It took me all of two hours.
I posted pictures on Facebook and Pinterest and got some pretty good response. This is all I will show you for now, when the display happens that will be part two of this blog.
I wish you could come and visit , My Old Historic House and the shop. I will always leave the lights on and Sissy Dog will meet you with a jump and a kiss. I'll even make you a dress if you don't mind a little hot glue.
Dear Richard! First of all, the top of the dress form..is fantastic! (Pearls being my favorite.) I love it, and from then on it just gets more beautiful and feminine! We can almost hear your mind as it creates! What fun!! Lovely, just lovely! What a way to spend a stormy night!

I'm sorry Richard, by mistake I deleted my previous comment to you, where I praised the beautiful period gown! The gown is gorgeous, I'd love to have lived in those elegant days! Lots of hugs,
