Custom Theda

[kambriel]

I recently made a one of a kind Theda Gown with lacing in the back, from a combination of vibrant red burnout velvet on an organza base, and this great heavy netting with an abstract open weave cobwebby texture (I wish you could make it out better in the photos ~ it's really something in person!) for vampyremermaid ~ a fabulous woman with a gift for making exquisite handcrafted crowns.

Quick snapshots before shipping the dress:



I sent the gown to her in England and it arrived in a matter of just a few days! I received the sweetest response from her, and wanted to share a little of it here :)

Dear Kambriel -

I got home from a dull and boring day at work to find - *** had cooked me a chinese meal and poured me a glass of wine - and then he told me about your box which had just arrived this morning! I had to try the dress on then and there - IT'S SO FANTASTIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Totally fabulous - the colour, the fabric, every thing! Now I need a splendid occasion to wear it to, or any opportunity really! It's just so theatrical and fantastic!

Anyway - thanks again for my beautiful dress, I must find a way to wear it out as soon as possible! - I wanted to ring you then and there..!

Best wishes -
VampyreMermaid

I've had some rough days recently, but *that* qualifies as a good day!

WOW. That is so amazing. You continue to amaze me. Something like that would be so rad for Mirabilis.

It's so great that you think so because Mirabilis came into my mind when I was working on this! I actually wanted to tell you about it, but thought I'd wait until I had a photo to share with you :)

I'm really looking forward to the new songs!
