Paso Doble dress- full front view and action shots
This was my first successful dance costume that I made for a showcase in 2006.
It was a daunting project for a costuming virgin... It took almost all of my spare time over a month to finish this and another dress for Rumba dance. It was endless cutting, sewing, pressing, ripping-apart, resewing, repressing... especially for the miles and miles of circular ruffles. I still couldn't believe that I had the perserverence to pull through this complicated and boring construction process...
But the end result paid it all off, it was a hit. It gets a lot of ohs and wows every time it makes an appearance. I would probably simplify some of the designs and choose better fabrics now that I have more experience, but this is nontheless a memorable piece.
