Universal Entertainment's Annual Golden Woody Awards 2013 Gown Ideas

This is an exclusive award ceremony that commemorates those in entertainment at Universal Orlando. This will be my first time attending & it means a great deal to me. This year's theme is Film Noir. I drew fashion inspiration from my favorite actress, Kate Winslet. I've pretty much decided on the dress, but I thought it would be fun to tantalize you with options. Feel free to leave a comment if there is a particular dress you like/don't like.

Recreation of Katy Perry's Peppermint Dress

Creating the Fabric

Glitter dust & spray adhesive 77 on white satin swatch: Looks exactly like the glitter white fabric on the Katy Perry's peppermint dress. 

**GARMENT CARE NOTE** over time glitter will clump and collect dirt. Fabric should never be submerged in any solution or water. Dry cleaning is optional. A dry or damp cloth will work. Spraying vodka solution will kill bacteria without harming the textile.

Glitter satin swatch. I used an adhesive spray & then sprinkled glitter dust (extra fine grain) after it dried, I sealed it with Plasti Dip spray (prevents glitter from shedding - too much )

Pinning the lining of the bodice together.

Surge bodice panels & sew together.

Interfacing was used to create that stiff look
