Tweet

Hello this is my first post! i was wanting some opinons. Trying to do something victorian and vampy, i have a dress that im willing to chop and re sew however i was wondering if any one had done something like this, and if i could have some pictures posted??? My sewing skills are um.... begginer lol. BUT i am great with a hot glue gun! the dress i have in mind i had for year, it is Bright green with black lace every where all over. strapless and corset back, thanks guys!

Ive made a victorian dress from scratch once for a vamp and a couple years before I threw one together from a gypsy type shirt from the hippy shop in the mall and layered a couple of big flowy skirts( One was a costume gone horribly wrong) then put a corset I had over I had over it and threw on a cape I had made and it looked pretty good. But they sell historical patterns on line if that helps.

thanks! looked online for ideas. my issue is ill be 6 months pregoo on halloween. a corset it most likely outta the question.
