Beautiful work! And I love that you've re-created Sarah Brightman's gorgeous long Pre-Raphaelite hair too!

Brava, brava, bravissima!!! You really did a good job on this dress, maybe you could step it up and make the wedding gown, just an idea! I’m working on a Phantom/Erik cosplay that is based off of the broadway show and it’s almost complete!!!! So excited!!!!! I’m posting it on Instagram when I’m finished

It's a stunning work that you've done! Do you can share a link for the fabrics?

[@RannonsmrY]

Where did you find the fabric? You did a wonderful job!

[@Mellyswardrobe]

[@RealAngelOfMusic]

@@jennymyers6498 there is a website called spoonflower where you can send them a picture and they make a fabric out of it. but they also have finished wishing dress fabrics there for you to buy. just search for phantom of the opera in the search bar

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

Magnifique! :D

[@ThePhantomOftheFrog]

I'm trying to make my own version of this dress, for the undergarments did you use a crinoline to keep the shape of the skirt?

[@Mellyswardrobe]

Hello, this is not a crinoline but a bustle :) I’ve used the grand bustle pattern from truly Victorian (all the patterns I’ve used here are from TV by the way :) ) I’ve listed everything in my costume blog if you want to take a look: dentelleetsatin.blogspot.com If you are on a computer, click the pic of the wishing gown on the right , you’ll be able to find all the posts concerning this dress ;) Good luck with this project :D

[@ThePhantomOftheFrog]

@@Mellyswardrobe okay! thank you so much!

[@Xiao961]

How do you make the back part of that dress tho :O I just can't figure it out xD

[@Mellyswardrobe]

Heck out this link, this is the one that I’ve used ;) it’s called: waterfall drapery www.arrayedindreams.com/the-gilded-frock/the-modular-frock/waterfall-drapery/

[@Xiao961]

@@Mellyswardrobe I also have some other questions!---- I'm sorry but i have simply no knowledge about making dresses or clothes in general but curiousity is killing me and i have a urge to actually try making this somehow- Imma just put them down like this: 1. How do you make the details on the bodice\corset, with details i mean the white figure thingys xD. 2. How do you make\get the white dress thingy that you wear under it or made it on and what is it called? With that i mostly mean the back area xD. 3. How did you make\get the fabrics since they are amazingly beautifull! Welllll thats it xD I'm sorry if im questioning too much but i just have this thing that i have the urge do something i know i simply cant- in other words trying to make this dress with 0 knowledge-- Imma see how this all will turn out and if i'll actually do it (which i might-)

[@Mellyswardrobe]

@@Xiao961 HEllo, no problem, I hope I understand the questions correctly haha :D 1. I've bought the appliqués like this, they are "ready to sew" directly on your outfit, generally they represent flowers, you can find a lot of lace appliqués on the internet or specialized shops ;) 2. The volume on the back is given by a cage petticoat which has the volume in the back, which is typical of this era. This is not part of the dress, this is an underwear, like the corset. It gives the good shape and structure to put the dress over :) There are boning inside to give the volume and support a heavy dress on top. :D sites.create-cdn.net/siteimages/35/4/9/354918/15/7/4/15743120/801x1200.jpg 3. This fabric is a reproduction of an existing one this I was reproducing a specific costume. Sometimes I draw/ design my fabrics and print them on spoonflower, OR I find the fabric on internet or shops ;) With experience you learn to recognize the right designs for every era ;) and "4". I really don't mind about the lot of questions ;) I was like you in the beginning! Interested, but I didn't know where to start haha! I had to spend a lot of hours surfing on blogs and forums, and asking other people of course :D Thanks again for your interest with my work, take care, these months are so strange... -_-

[@Xiao961]

@@Mellyswardrobe Yayy! Thank you

[@grzegorzszewczuk9101]

Outstanding job!!!! What patterns did you use?

[@Mellyswardrobe]

Thanks! Tv201 for thé petticoat and skirt, an altered tv422 for the bodice (in order to make it fit a grand bustle). The waterfall drape, apron and sides are homemade ;) you can find a making of here: dentelleetsatin.blogspot.com/search/label/wishing%20dress?max-results=20&m=1

[@alphie333]

Is this fabric pattern something you would consider sharing or uploading onto a website like spoolflower?

[@m.p.1131]

It is already :) (sorry I’m answering from my phone with an other account) www.spoonflower.com/en/fabric/1272434-wishing-fabric-color-darcy-by-mellymellow

[@emilym8530]

I wish i could have someone make that for me!!!!!

[@cje24576]

This is gorgeous! By the way, do you take commissions?

[@Mellyswardrobe]

cje24576 hello ant thank you! Sorry, as this is not my job (just a hobby) I don't have any time or skill to sew for others though I'd like that
