Baroque vine dress

This year's ball motto is "Autumn", so another new dress is absolutely necessary ;) The actual idea behind it is an eccentric mid-1800s-dress that I chose because of the vine decoration:

The decoration will bearranged differently, to give it a more baroque impression, like in this drawing from Burnacini: the grapes and leaves are arranged around the slimmest parts of the costume only.

And yes, this is the dress that had me on the search for glass grapes, or something the like. No point in sticking plastic grapes on a baroque gown, it would look like I was carrying the table decoration on my shoulders :D So these are the grapes that are going on the dress, entirely handmade, to be found at http://godivascreativechaos.blogspot.com/2017/07/artificial-glass-grapes.html
