The cock-tail dress

All done. The dress is all put together all the feathers are shimmering in a beautiful iridescence, the head dress is impressing in the color shape and of course the feathers. I am happy.
I am so happy that this project is ALLLLLL done.
It was so close to hit the garbage bin. Oh so close.
I knew from the start that there might be some issues with the hinges. The sides of the top had to be able to swing, otherwise there is no way to put the dress on or take it off. I make all my fashion removable and easily, or within a reasonable effort put on and take off.
So I thought leather straps with silver buckles will work fine and give the hinges their flexibility.

Looks nice and I used the tacky fast grab glue, it had to work.
