Ballroom Showcase: Flapper Dress Completed

 Just giving the update that my dress is done! I did my performance, but I'm still waiting on the video footage.  [Image -tbd] For accessories, in the end I made a couple of pearl necklaces. They did not hit my partner thankfully. I have the t-strap mary janes...they're a bit rough to dance in. And I made a headband with a feather in it. I have a couple of simple pearl earrings I could wear too and the beaded false lashes.  Retrospective I should have measured between the layers of fringe with a ruler. It was all pretty thick on the hem but it did move nice.  I wore nylons instead of my usual shorts. This was nicer looking IMO.  The brooch I used on the belt flew off during practice. Had to tape it closed with a band-aide.
