Once upon a mattress - more costumes

Bridal Shower!

 

Once upon a mattress...

Almost done!  These are the renderings I'm working from for the last few:

And finally, the nightingale and all the head wear!

Princess cones by the dozen, to go with the dresses:

And the queen's ridiculous hat:

Once. Upon A mattress costumes! continued

Once Upon A Mattress, fuchsia, lavendar, aqua, and melon

  

Here are few more of the costumes I've constructed out of discarded prom dresses.  The lavendar and pink is actually very pretty, but the camera on my phone doesn't do it justice.  A few of these are sized very small, and I couldn't get them onto my dressmaker dummy, so they're just on hangers, which doesn't look so great.  

The dress rehearsal is on the first of march, so I'm starting to feel a little pressure!

Once upon a mattress- purple

This one was fun.  It was a prom dress restructured.  I added the sleeves, the bling, sash, and the laces up the back so that it will adjust to fit most girls.  I like the way it turned out.  I also added loop tape to the sides of the skirt, so the hem cam be lifted.  Apparently, the director wants the dresses shorter, so that the actors' high top tennis shoes (yes!  Even the princesses!) can be seen.  I suppose he knows what he's after, but I can't quite envision it.
