I love your concept! I do agree with the commenter on the previous post who suggested a shawl/stole. (Or perhaps some long, fluttery/flowy sleeves that could be either wing-like or flame-like? I have a vague recollection of seeing a dress with sleeves that seemed to be attached below, leaving the shoulders bare. Or some kind of headdress/ ornament to continue the idea from head to toe, like you made the matching tam for Kodachrome?)

I love that idea! But I think I also want phoenixes in the dress, perhaps on the bodice…will have to think about that some more. Thanks for suggesting a stole!

I’m actually using the “petite” croquis from Threads Magazine for my sketches, so more realistic than a generic croquis…but you’re right, a croquis of myself might be a good idea! I’ll see about making one. Thanks for the suggestion!
