Description Front view of my Alice costume from the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland.

The dress took 9 months to make, 7 of those months were spent hand embroidering the hem. I made every part of this dress and altered the boots, individual shots of each can be found in my gallery. The lace I made myself.

This picture was taken at Archon in October 2010. I won the Best In Journeyman Class for Workmanship.

At Dragon*Con 2010 I received and Honorable Mention in the Friday Night Costuming Contest, Best Workmanship in the Young Adult Literature Costume Contest, and Best Disney Character in the Hall Costume Contest.

You look like Mia and is that your real hair?

Thank you, I'm glad I can pull off the look Yes, that's my real hair, though I'm going to make a wig that's closer to her hair for costumes for the next movie

I think it was very close and alwaysd like to check as people seem to use fake hair that doesn't look as good as human hair does

Wow, this is just beyond words. I can't believe that you had this much patience on everything, mostly the hem. You have all of the details down perfectly, it looks like you jumped right out of the movie! Again, really great job

Look like all your hard work over the last few months have been worth it. Excellent work recreating a piece from a movie any movie costume designer would be proud. And congrats on your awards.
