Sweater in Silver Filigree on Pink Moose with couched stitches and glass

with couched stitches and glass beads decorating the neckline and the bottom of the tabard

the only decorative elements here are smocked blue bands inset into the cuffs

My first version of this cocktail dress used a black paper patterned with gold

with pale blue Mizutama watermark tissue laid over a pale shimmering green to imitate the silk of the original dress
