The Passing of the DoorLine of people
First one
Swings the door open.
But to let it shut
Would be rude
So it is passed on.
To the next
So they too
May enter
And that one
passes it
on
and on
and on
It is a human ritual
Performed
Only
Out
Of
Necessity
They say it is
The mother
Of
Invention.

My ElementsI cry with the earth
She takes my tears
Grows them into life
Love from sadness

I dance with the fire
We twirl and leap
The sky is our destination
Beautiful and dangerous

I float with the water
I am at peace with the world
Obstacles don't matter
Nothing can stop us

I sing with the wind
Melody is carried far
Voices intertwine
The most beautiful song

19-Teens Inspired Prom Dress 2012by ~taylor-of-the-phunk

And here it is, the real thing, based on this design: [link]

Shew! I've been working on this for months, not to mention making another one on commission.

So, the breakdown.
The lavender layer has a fully boned underbodice, based on the laurel dress from Patterns of Fashion. I drafted the skirt pattern myself. It's basically a wedge in the front and half an oval in the back. That train is magnificent (and hell to hem)!

The purple lace can come off (it's tacked on). That was my lucky find at the fabric store! Such a lovely color.

The black net I did in one night. It's very simple rectangle shapes, different than what I'd originally planned but still effective.

The belt is actually an antique that my Gram gave me, I don't really know how old it is or who it belonged to, but I love it.

Aaand I made the corsage too. Don't you love my feather?

I LOVE THIS! If I had the talent, I would make something like this for my prom this year. Well techniquely, its next year, but for this coming up school year. Anyway, you did a very good job. The feather is just perfect!
