I came across the pics of your "Corpse Bride" dress on the web. I am getting married April of 2008 and we are having a Corpse Bride theme. I am planning on making my own dress and was looking for ideas. Yours is fabulous. Could you send me some tips on what you did to get it aged and tattered? I would really appreciate your input! Thanks! ~Lelah  Julia C. Scott replies: "My advice is for the tatters use a blunted pair of old scissors and chop haphazardly at the edges as it gives a wonderfully scraggly finish to any neat lines you may have on the edges of things, go fast and don't hesitate over ruining things. The more creases, wonky folds and seams, and terrible stitching the better it looks. Sandpaper is your best friend in the world to make edges look even more messy and tatty to to make the fabric holey in places too and do a lot of hand tearing; really beat the dress up. Do all this before you do any dying though. I myself ended up using acryllic paint as you can really clap it on thick to make it look like mud on the bottom and it doesn't come off in water when it's dry. Get it into your hands and really work whatever you end up using into the fabric, soak the bottom edges in and let it run up so you get a nice fading effect. If you want 'splash' effects stick some on the end of a painbrush and flick the painbrush in an upwards motion towards the dress. Another good effect is sticking random big stitches in different places on the fabric with a heavy embroidery thread to make it look 'self repaired'. I hope that gives you a few ideas and tips. Good luck for your wedding!" | |
