bloglandia ball and Chang'e

I have always loved ball dresses..
and fancy accessories..
and .. tailor's mannequins..

when I have learned there is a ball project going on..
I loved it..
the idea.. of making my own ball dress and go to bloglandia ball

I have also read about the moon festival.. that Sandy has mentionned..
I learned a lot..
about Chang'e.. and the traditions..
I even have a plan..
of litting lanterns.. and preparing a place for the moon girl..
of putting some toiletries at this place..
under the moonlight.. and wish for.. beauty.. and love.. (more is never enough)..
then I will fly off to the ball..
wearing this dress..
I have designed..
and taken the picture.. while it is still on the tailor's mannequin itself..



I don't have a real sized one..
and even if I had..
I don't do real sewing..
small things..embellishment..refashioning..
that is all I can handle..

but..I have one ideal for holding accessories..
which stands on my dressing table..
I couldn't loose the opportunity of using it..
for this miniature ball dress could I.. and I didn't..

I have also prepared a collar..
a pompom fur collar.. perfect for exaggerating .. =P



a close up to show the details of the model and the material I used to do it..
velvet.. and lace.. and fur.. and black.. love the combination..
a strapless and sequin bordered top..
a baloon mini skirt.. both in velvet..
the lace part goes over the mini skirt part.. and makes the dress romantic..
it goes high and it has a fluffy volume..something I can't wear in real life..
not to show off my gorgeous figure =P..
but a bloglandia ball is the perfect place to be showy..

to go with the dress..a perfect handbag..
and heigh heeled fancy shoes..
not made of crystal..
I am nor cindrella anymore..
but of porcelain..

people..
come from miles around..
to hear the music makers..
bring your friends and children too
to hear the music makers..
have some fun out in the country..
celebrate the music in the open air..

who's song was it..

does anyone remember??

*********

I wish I wish dear Chang'e..
that I this dress be the first of the others to follow..
