Lalala... It's the long-promised Dragon Dress! I got the fabric because it was so beautiful and reminded me of full-back Japanese tattoos (I guess the fabric's name ("tatsu") helped with that. xD). I finished this in early April in hopes of submitting it for the WEWY contest, but my internet wouldn't work when I wanted to submit it!
Anyway, ignore the god-awful excuse for a "petticoat" I'm wearing there. It's just a stand-in for until I order a real one from In the Starlight. ^^
I hope to make this a part of a slightly unconventional wa-loli ensemble for A-Kon this year. I'll be adding a simple blouse underneath and perhaps a light cardigan on top. I plan to do my hair in its naturally curly style (i.e. not fro-like like it is after 3 days of not shampooing it). I also just finished making a matching bow for it, accented with black brocade and faux pearls! ^^ Hizaki-hime (of Versailles, A-Kon's headlining band this year) would be proud. ^^v
Info on materials/resources in the picture. Please leave Advanced Critique, because I want to know if I can change anything before the con. ^^v
Many thanks to Erin of DressADay.com for the pattern-choosing help. ^^
Thanks so much! Yeah, I'm glad that I decided to be patient with this dress and practice the pattern (which I made following instructions from a Japanese goth-loli pattern magazine ^^) on cheap muslin cotton fabric before-hand. I wasn't about to cut into fabric that gorgeous without being sure it would look right! >: D
I love this kind of dress/style because it works well for several different body types. Big hips? Small hips? No problem! You'll be adorable all the same.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
