It’s time to share photos of my completed Snow Queen fancy dress outfit! This outfit, which is a re-trimming of my 1899 Elusive Blue dress, made use of new beaded snowflakes (posted about in detail here) and a recycled plastic clamshell icicle crown (posted about in detail here). Below is the finished outfit with all of the trimmings!
The trimmings included big sparkly earrings and a long strand of faux pearls worn in an 1890s style, long white gloves (an essential for an 1890s ball!), the afore-mentioned snowflakes and crown, and a bit of white fur to capture the idea of snow.
The fur tippet amuses me because it is super soft and comes in handy as a historical accessory, but also because, looking back, I made it in 2012! Here is the original blog post about it, including a definition of what a tippet is and research showing examples of tippets. How fun that it is still in my wardrobe and still coming in handy!
Here is the icicle crown in action, to give some context to the description of how it sits on my head.
To finish off, here is one more full length view of the ensemble, zoomed out far enough to see the fun bubble-shaped light fixture!
Happy new year! Thanks for enjoying this ensemble with me!
