Resa has provided some incredible pictures of a gorgeous wedding art gown she created from two boxes of lines and lace provided by the lovely Diana of https://mythsofthemirror.com/.

About Resa McConaghy
My name is Resa McConaghy. I’m a semi-retired Costume Designer for film and television.
My first Art Gown “Strawberry Kisses” was to create some beauty in my life after mom died. It was a hit with people, so I continued to make and post more “Art Gowns”.
At some early point, I began upcycling, repurposing and in general making the gowns out of any fabric or notions that were not new goods. I was using up anything headed for landfill.
The Art Gowns are available to borrow or rent (situation dependant) for Gala’s, photo shoots and film production.
