Thank you so much!

Hello Anea! I'm from that franken-star princess Instagram. First, I really really love your blog! It helps me so much with the costuming and almost everything POTO related 💖🙏

Secondly, would you mind making a compilation of European Star Princess puff sleeves? It'd be the big help for my art project ❤️

Oh, but SURE! Here's a random selection of versions I like, or where the photo is good and shows details well.

Beaded wedding dress bodices: inspirations

When I started on my wedding dress replica back in the days I was so fascinated by those doing ornate, yet fairly subtle beading over the bust instead of the lace fan decorations. Here’s some of the c. 2000 European dresses that inspired me.

Silvia Luchetti, Madrid 2002
