Design and gown by Geneva Convention (along with a small team including me!) for the National Miss Comedy Queen Pageant 2026.  This gown was a labor of love and forced the expansion of my tailoring knowledge, also the importance of hoola hoops in gown structure. Stoned to appear as soot on the outer skirt and corset top with the inner skirt emulating sparkling coal in an Appalacian mine with a geometric pattern of stonework.  Featuring jet stones size ss16, ss20, ss30 in addition to montana stones and siam.

A blend of light sapphire and sapphire crystal stones, sizes ss 10, ss 12, ss16, ss20, ss30 on a fabulous corset made by Brandon Bermudez. One of my favorite pieces, it taught me patience in dealing with ostrich feathers and liquid adhesive.
