CONSTRUCTION:

The dress was completely made from draping on a mannequin, with no base pattern. The leather was attached and hand patterned with black paint. (The same technique was used for the armbands and the leather around the bra top.)

The bra top was made from selected gold fabric and patterned off a bathing suit tutorial. 

Finally, the necklace was made from selected buttons and metals clasps, and relinked by hand.
