Think Pink!

I've been obsessed with finding pink appliques and trims on Etsy for my Pink Burlesque costume I'm desinging with a big feather skirt. Very much like the one Nicole Kidman wears in Moulin Rouge. I LOVE that big heart at the bottom of the corset on hers.

Now, I've gone through a few phases of designs for this costume. It started off with having just a big lace and sequin applique down the front with ruffles along the top and bottom, and then progressed to ruffles with a bouquet of fabric flowers, to sequins all down the front, and then it got silly.

Below is my original design with just the applique and ruffles vs. the new design with the pleated fushia ruffles, fabric bows and sequin gauze lace.

This costume piece reminds me so much of an art project i did in highschool. I recreated a photograph I took out of pink petals.
