Thread: Help find dress in this pic

Tweet

Have you seen this dress somewhere? I love it and would love to buy it, but I can't find it.

I stumbled upon the photo last year online. I think I was looking at a professional haunt website. Somewhere in the south? FL? If I remember correctly, there was a link that said "Meet our actors" or "Meet our characters" and she was there with this dress.

Now it haunts my dreams. With my luck, it's a one-of-a-kind custom.

Any help on the dress would be appreciated! Thank you!



I've tried google image searches for: gothic dress, gothic doll, gothic doll costume, white dress black roses, the ring costume, corpse bride dress

It does appear to be more of a custom piece.

Depending on what you are willing to spend on it, you could always ask a seamstress to make it for you. A friend of mine sells on Etsy and does a great job on custom clothing (though she typically doesn't have any in her shop) - www.SWStitchery.etsy.com

It definitely looks custom. I'm betting she distressed it herself, as well. It could be made from a "prairie woman" costume, like Simplicity 3723, in a heavy white bridal fabric. Then distress it using spray dye, and/or black cold water dye, and add fake black flowers. It would definitely be an awesome costume.

Thanks for all your tips!

That is a gorgeous dress. I see why you would want to find or replicate it, MizLiz. Very striking.

I agree this is most likely a custom dress. It may be handmade from a pattern, or it may be from a vintage base. If you want to use an existing dress as the base, I'd investigate the 1970's Victorian revival and prairie dresses to see what you can find. The Gunne Sax label made quite a lot of dresses in this style. Here's an example; I am not affiliated with the seller in any way. There's a 1960's wedding dress on eBay right now that would very much lend itself to this sort of use.

Good luck and let us know what you come up with!

Early turn of the century/ victorian dress it looks like.

That is Bloody Mary who was the icon for 2008 Universal Halloween Horror Nights. It's for sure custom: http://attractionsmagazine.com/blog/...ails-released/

Holy cow, Terra, you are amazing!

I thought I saw it at a pro haunt's website. And I even went to their site because I was thinking Orlando. I just couldn't find that section with the characters again.

Now to make/create/find one. It's gorgeous.

Thanks again for all your tips
