It all started with a piece of fabric I didn't buy enough of on a trip to New York:
I only bought a yard and a half, although, it is very wide. So to make that tiny bit of fabric into a dress that would fit me, I made a wide, beaded collar to take up some space. I started with a mockup in muslin:
Drew the pattern for the collar on paper, cut it out of complementary fabric, and attached fusible interfacing to the back side:
I made good use of the temporary fabric pencils to draw the design onto the fabric, and beaded it. This was the first bead embroidery I'd ever done. I attended a workshop at Westercon given by Theresa Halbert, and was inspired:
Then it was just a question of sewing up the dress with the collar. There is almost no scrap fabric on this dress - it's not particularly flattering, but it's very comfortable.
