I made a ballgown for a Romantasy Ball inspired by Belladonna, a gothic fantasy novel

All embroidery was done on a Baby Lock Venture and all machine sewing was done on a Baby Lock Soprano! The gown is a 1878 ball gown inspired by Belladonna by Adaline Grace https://a.co/d/2Oj27Hq Please do read it - it's an absolutely gorgeous story and the prose is some of the most delicious and poetic I've ever read!
