Custom - Princess Alicia Finnston II Bead Dress

Full Shop | Etsy | Facebook | Instagram

Here is my Valentine recolor of Queen Alicia, original character design by my best sasquatch GraniteFire, and so dubbed her "Princess" dress. It was an absolute joy for me to work on this version, and I'm sure you all know why.

Not much to add to the description beyond the original version of this. She's still the largest skirt I make. So all the super technical stuff can be found in the original, which includes pattern creation and overcoming difficulties.

She is created entirely from glass seed beads and nylon. Her dress form is not removable without permanent damage and attempted removal may cause sudden death. Glass seed beads in size 11 and size 15. Pearly pink, pearly cream, permanent finish silver-lined pink opal, silver-lined raspberry, and frosted mustard chartreuse lined pink iris luster (somehow, magically, brown). The brooch is real gold and pink crystal Crystaletts from my friend Sharon: www.etsy.com/shop/YadasiBeads Threaded together with pink Japanese One G nylon. Almost entirely herringbone stitch with bits of netting and Right Angle Weave (RAW). The bow center uses peyote stitch.
