1 Alice's "Hatter's Ride" dress. This is what I'm calling it since I'm not really sure what to call it officially. Fairly simple in design, it will just be time consuming assembling the ribbons.

| 3 Flower and Fabric shots

4 Silk Satin ribbons in Copen and Black. The copen will be sewn to the black to create one piece for the bodice and shoes and arm wrap.
| 5 Drafting the under dress
| 6 The underdress with the Point D'Esprit and lace pinned on. I hadn't added the tulle under layer yet at this point.

7 Taken with Flash The dress portion is done. I sewed the two ribbons together to make one ribbon (about 11yds long) and it really needs to be a bit longer still, probably another 3-4 yards. It's just wrapped in place at the moment.
| 8 Taken in Sunlight Sames as the before photo, but the natural light looks a lot better. Unfortunately for me, Dragon Con is made of people with flashes... so the color will look a little off in photos *grrr* "Hey, where did you get that fabric f..." View Comments...
| 9 I'm wondering if the added tulle underlayer makes this look too poofy, and almost 50's in style.

| 15 The shoes before. Simple ballet flats that were on sale and easy to cut up for Alice shoes. The ribbons are a smaller version of the silk ribbons on the dress. It took 4 yards of ribbons per shoe!
|
16 Hot Glue + Ribbon + Shoe = perfect match.
| 17 One shoe down! You can see I removed the giant bow and cut out the toe area.
| 18 All done! They are so cute and are probably my most comfy costume shoes yet lol.
|
19 DONE!!! I need a better wig cap to keep my natural hair flatter under the wig.

| 21 Exploring the halls of the castle... or at least my apartment lol.
