This was such a fun project, and one I even let the kids help with!
I started with a $9.95 vintage late 70s/early 80s polyester wedding dress.
Then, like with my starry starry night costume, I used whatever paint I had available to create a copy of Monet’s painting “Waterlillies”. The one thing I did with this dress was purchase a spray paint fabric paint for the background color. Since it was a polyester sheer material, it just made dots everywhere, so I had to blend that all in. The portion with the bridge from the painting was featured on the back train. It was a blast to wear this last Halloween and will be hard to top!
