This was another "statement" piece for a night at a club. The = idea was a giant gauzy headpiece that would have an ombre of rhinestones, h= eavy at the top and then fading to sparse black. The inside is a cage of bl= ack rigilene boning to make the shoulder harness and bubble. I made a&= nbsp;rigilene "headband" to hold the bubble in place over the cen= ter of the head.
The whole thing is draped with about 25 yards of black tulle, where I tr= ied to keep only a few layers around a place to look through. After drappin= g, I sewed in tucks and pleats to the underlying cage. Next I glued on left= over gem stones from Disco Dee= r.
Things I found out: gorilla tape is a lie! It seems like it will hold al= l night, but I had multiple structural failures. Also, sewing the rigi= lene didn't help either. If I do this again, there will be staples involved= . When testing it at home, I could easily see from inside the dark bubble i= nto my lit room. However, club lights and strobes turn this into an opaque = aurora borealis. So I spent most of the night "alone" in my list = bubble.
