D.I.Y Mermaid Dress

[gallery ids="282,299"]

I have a photoshoot next week at a lake and it`s been a real struggle to find a big floaty dress that will look 'mermaidy' in the water, so I have decided to make one.

I've used these beautiful pictures of my favorite alternative model 'Audrey Kitching' doing a water shoot as inspiration for the dress.

I am using the flowers from an old necklace to add a girlie detail to the dress, an old blue dress i've never actually worn and a selection of pastel coloured netting and taffeta which I will attatch to the dress in different places to add the 'floatiness'.

Hopefully this will work, i'll show you when it`s done.

Here it is, I think it looks ok. It`s not great.
