llyrafantasyfaeSo I might be biting with the lost hope group. I've been intrigued since ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jenthompson first did hers. Then the group idea came up but I talked myself out of it. But Loren had me 95% convinced Saturday and after revisiting my stash, I think I want to do it. I've been hoarding some silk for the purpose of making a snow/winter/ice fairy. So why not make that fairy now.
My plan is to make a historically accurate white base dress. Pretty much the same one I just made but with different sleeves and bodice front. It may seem silly to be making another white dress but the one I have is going to be covered in embroidery. Colorful flower embroidery. Not the winter fairy I envision. Besides everyone needs a good base white dress to make accesories and separates to mash things up, right?
My favorite part about this project is while the pieces I put on top of the base dress will be HA inspired, I can break rules. I can add modern techniques to get the snow and ice feel. It's my favorite part of this being a fantasy dress.
I'm not sure which costume I am most looking forward to now, the GoT, Lolita red riding hood or the Lost Hope Winter Fairy.
