Starting from a 50’s black dress with the right shape, I made an Irish dance solo dress for competitions. We added black sleeves to the original dress, covered in green lace. We cut the skirt, added a green tulle underskirt for volume, then added ten triangles in green fabric. Final step, decoration: I hand-sewn pieces of green lace on the front bodice and skirt then I hand-stitched 300 crystals.
