Glimpse of next project

Next project I am working on is a Venetian Masquerade Evening Gown. There is an annual party in Seattle called Venice is Sinking, and it is a highly elaborate show event.  I am very excited to go this year with a few of my friends.  And of course I have tons of costume ideas. 

I think I will incorporate feather in this costume. which is very exciting for me. I think last time I used feathers, it didn't end so well. ;P

I have 3 yards of beautiful Chinese brocade in a peacock color that I think will work perfect for my dress idea. as for the pattern, I am thinking about a short shrug w/ bell sleeves, a full ball gown plus a sexier sweet heart neckline. ;)
