For some strange reason, I’m going to have to make a collar-whatever-they-is like the black one this lady wears. Will let you know how it ends up looking like ♀️ So, I’m working with what I already have and these seem to be the materials I’ll use. I’m thinking about instead of the middle lace, just use a little piece of the long gipure Only gipure didn’t convince me ♀️ but I think I’ll use just lace:And btw, this is the reference I’m using:So, thank you New Spanish fashion for being so weird. We made it, friends.Please excuse the non-accurate costume (I did not make) for my New Spanish dance group. @vinceaddams It is pretty comfy! I used a velvet ribbon as a base for the whole necklace and I just tied it on the back. It’s pretty much the same as a string of pearls tied with ribbon, but lighter :)Oh that weird little… hat? Thing? I don’t even know what is going on there BUT it is certainly charming! Very birthday-like:You go, girl. -- source link
