Aleta The Mermaid

Aleta is a mermaid, she lives under the sea in a perpetual Summer, has golden locks, a sparkle in her eye and no respect for land lubbers. If she were to dwell upon the land, i'm sure she would wear a dress like this.

I haven't dyed anything in yonks and the rain didn't help my experimenting. I got myself some beautiful soft rayon, which is perfect for a number of my designs, it takes on dye really well too which is a bonus as i can just buy white.

This was a bit of an experiment and i wasn't sure what the end result was going to look like. First i dyed it yellow, then i thought it needed some pink (pink is very good for most things in my opinion. The vintage turquoise lace completes the dress and nicely matches my nails!

I really like it, so i'll most likely make a few more the same.

  2. Turned out wonderfully!! I love the multiple looks with one or two shoulders (its almost like owning two dresses!) Cant wait to see more dyed versions.
