Sandra Lee Instagram – Versailles TA-DA – Pre-Party Prep! What a process…The dress was Magnificent-some 10 hours cutting, Hot gluing, quick stitching and tacking-scissors, thread, glitter, sequence. Then the wig. That was a whole thing. It was two wigs, stacked and pinned, and then embellished with at least 40 different unique ornaments (So Flowers, a 1910 crystal encrusted golden butterfly (fabulous flea market find), Ribbon, pearls, more sequence and final massive amounts of glue…AND Ohh la la!
I then made a girlfriend STELLA’s wig! Same process, two wig stacked the feathers bow and lace wrapped.
Then my 1950 peasant wedding gown turned into the prettiest most perfect “princess for a night” masterpiece. (Ten hours for the Gown and two for the wig). The necklace is a pearl belt cut down-glued and Velcro’s with the discarded pearl length repurposed for my hair.
THE BAG! Another flea market vintage find -$50 at already came beaded over champagne Satin. I covered it in the same lace as my train and Hot glued the lace to the interior of The purse. I stitched the final embellishment to the exterior using the rest of the 1910 antique butterfly hairpiece-the Perfect Purse came to life like magic.
Btw all The bows, fringe and tassel was purchased at a drapery/trim wholesaler.
It’s about how you use what you have.
Creating the life of your dreams is in the Lens you look thru!!! Soooooo
