For @bluesmooth127's Fashion Design Challenge contest. This dress is inspired by the Tube Tongue (or Painted Tongue?) Velvet Trumpet Flower here. I hope the link works; if not, the one blue posted in her contest does.
Thanks so very much, ubi!! I really appreciate the comments because this is among my favorites of the dresses I've made, certainly my best "flower dress."
Sarlyn this is exquisite. Every aspect of the design is beautiful. You know I have to give this doll more than one crown. The details are a part of the overalll beauty. The assignment you were given you captured beautifullly which earns a crown for accuracy. And I have to give a crown because it is so beautiful. Well done. Every detail.
Wow, thanks lots Falak!!! I typically don't do yellow into purple because it always looks strange to me when I do it; therefore, I really appreciate the positive comment!!
The trumpet shape of the flower and how you incorporated that into this dress is awesome! I love the colors of yellows blending into the purples. Beautiful work!
Saralyn this dress is so beautiful, even more so than the flower! I love how you incorporated the vibrant colours of the petals into the hem and neckline, they really look like the petals blossoming out of the flower. The headpiece is awesome too! Really really lovely ^.^ ~Emerald
