That Title was supposed to sound like a drum - like the little drummer boy (p-rum pum pum pum?)
Neato - anyway!
I figured that even though Prom was a long time ago, I might post some photos because my dress was pretty much my most intense clothing accomplishment of the season, and well this is for those outfit lovers out there (and those of you who like to read the newspaper.)
IT TOOK A LONG TIME.
The Process:
The Results!

| My face says "I'll punch you in the gullet! 'cuz I'm from the wilderness!" |
I like feathers - feathers are nice!
THE STATS:
Goodwill dress on inside (just incase something ripped!)
100% newspapers on the outside (plus some thread, duct tape and safety pins)
All the newspaper (minus the top) is painted with waters colors and watery-glue mixture, some of them are just painted with watery-glue for extra stability and non-rippage. Dress lasted for about 5 outings I think, and is still in decent condition but I'm going to take it apart soon because I don't think it's really a long term garment!
I implore you: please appreciate this because it took many a day, many a week and loads of procrastination!
