The mood to make something fun and ruffly hit me, and this was the result. The dress is made from twenty some yards of black satin ribbon, eight yards of raspberry peach skin, six yards of black peach skin and countless circle skirts! 

The majority of this was constructed well on a family trip, the remainder finished at home several weeks later. In total it took three or four weeks of work. 

The wig was purchased from cosplaywig.
