After a Long Break

Well after completing the Red Beast, I decided to try my luck at collaging a new design onto my dress form. I had let enough time pass to calm the rage I felt whenever I thought about the drawn out and unpleasant experience of putting my first Unrefined together. I was more patient with Burgundy Mess and tried to enjoy the journey to completion as opposed to dictating the details. (Which was half the battle with the first dress attempt.) However, after the long arduous battle with the Red Beast, no dress after could take as long or be as frustrating.

My original intention was to create something a little more EGL (Elegant Gothic Lolita), but during the making of, it leaned towards Victorian rather than Lolita. I decided to follow through without trying to transform it into something it wasn't.
