A Dress for a Gardening Vampire

A friend of mine is shooting a music video in which she's a rapping vampire. She asked me to make her a dress incorporating certain elements. She also said that she needed to be fully covered as in the scene she would be gardening, outside, in the sun, and would also be wearing a giant hat. (Thus the collar, to protect from reflection.)
I was very excited about this project and had a lot of fun piecing together a pattern and picking the materials. I love when I get license to play!

Here she is at a fitting, awaiting a few tucks and tweaks...

And here she is on set. As she was directing, and acting, there wasn't much time for dress documentation, so better pictures soon! It was a muggy 85 degree day and that dress could not have been fun to wear in that sun, but we suffer for our art! 
Keep an eye out for "Making It Rain" featuring M.C.M.G. and the Rapping Vampire. It features a gardening vampire, human/ cannabis hybrids, vaginal bling and exotic dancers. In other words, it'll be  extremely entertaining.
