"Memory Keeper"

Ok, this is the inspo pic that most of you voted for when I asked!
When I came across this on Pinterest, it really grabbed me. I love the warm, handcrafted and ecclectic feel of it. It reminds me of something my mother would've lovingly stitched. I loved the challenge of creating that dimensional eye and tearing into an old pillow for the stuffing. The quilting technique I use is called "Trapunto". I've always wanted to try it in a costume. ALSO, that velvet stripe! I had this fabric when I first started my biz and have been trying to track it down for years! 
 
This is a one-piece leotard. Upper is drafted from a vintage bra pattern. Bottom part of costume has full-coverage. 
Lace appliqué is painted to look like tarnished, brassy gold. "Sequin" lines are actually heat set so they won't come off and lay flat. Crystal embellishment and handpainted distressing throughout. 
Stretch velvet, stretch sequin, upper bust is fully-lined with heavy powernet for shaping and support.
Corset ties are stretch.
Washing instruction: hand wash cool water, roll in towel, hang to dry
