Behold the Beaded Bride!

I consider this my Magnum Opus as I’m not doing this again anytime soon! I did this back in 07-08 (I think) for my mom for Christmas. She was made using the 1901 French Bridal Gown from the Paradise Collection crochet series.

This is the materials and the beginning of the skirt pattern. Yup, you read that right-1000 sequins! (So it’s more sequined than beaded but whatever),Luckily Sis would string stuff for me whenever she got frustrated with homework/her video games.

It’s made in two sections; the bodice:

and the skirt. Both are rather simple; it’s the appliques that make it really fancy. The medallions were crocheted first and the lines of sequins or beads done up separately. Then using the template in the pattern you glued the pieces onto a thin piece of fabric to create the appliques. These you would cut out and glue onto the gown (which is why it hangs funny in places)

The circle medallions are spaced all around the bottom and the edges of the skirt are heavily beaded as well. You can also see the sleeve appliques here.

Here you can see the beaded choker and headdress. I had to redo some of the hanging beads as mice had chewed it! (but thankfully it was easy to fix)

Her veil is HUGE. It’s crochet beaded all along the edge and features another applique at the bottom.

Close up. I love the butterfly here matches the one on her bodice.

Her bouquet! The outer edge has a row of beads ans sequins. The mice ate the ribbon roses so I had to replace them; I like these better anyway. She also had a beaded purse but the mice destroyed it and I’m not inclined to make another one (I’m just thankful it wasn’t anything else!)

It’s been about 15 years and I’m STILL impressed I managed to make this! I hope you enjoyed seeing it:)

Ok but what the shit went down while I was asleep???

Backread the Cynthia blog and I don’t know how to feel about MANY things right now but…

Cynthia, if you’re reading this, do you remember the gible gang? One of them’s with you (technically Volo?) right now. The ice and fairy one. You can keep it, unless you don’t want to. In that case just mail it back.

I definitely have a lot more thoughts than just gible right now, but this is like the most tame question I can ask right now while I process the rest of this.
