Hi everyone, its Robbie Cheadle with you today and part 2 of my wonderful holiday treat. The multitalented Resa McConaghy is sharing another of her spectacular Art Gowns in celebration of the holiday season.
Happy New Year
Let 2026 begin in the best of spirits and full of cheer!
Queen Isabella
Queen Isabella was inspired by the life of my good friend, Isabella, who brought joy to all she knew. Now, she brings JOY to you!
Queen Isabella is made from an old dress that was cut apart for the bodice, NOS lace curtain fabric from a liquidation sale, and 20 year old acrylic paints I inherited.
The lace was cut into strips along the flowers and leaves, and then hand painted. Each strip was gathered into a ruffle. Each ruffle was lovingly and purposefully placed, creating a froth of beauty.
Enjoy the beauty, and relish your entire year of 2026!
Please enjoy the slide show below of Queen Isabella by Resa McConaghy. Click on the pictures to enlarge and view as a slideshow.
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.
