Dress from Pirates of the Caribbean

I'm working on recreating one of Elizabeth's dresses from Pirates of the Caribbean. I have the bodice and sleeves drafted out, which is the most difficult and time-consuming. I have the fabric; not the same as the movie, though. I'm using purple brocade taffeta and purple shot taffeta for the underskirt and sleeve linings. The bodice will be boned, and the back will lace up. Here's a couple of pictures of how I hope it will look! Price will be in the $600 range.

Medieval Princess

This is a recent commission for a young lady who works on a cruise ship. She was required to have certain costumes for events the ship put on during the cruise. She was very happy with this dress, and looks lovely in it!

The dress is made of charmeuse and satin, The trim is silver braid, and the closure laces up the back. Sleeves are adjustable.
