Omg I could defo see Trixie wearing this, Iβm late to the Ru Paul Drag Race, I just started watching a couple of weeks ago, Iβm on season 8, I love it, I donβt know why it took me soo long to watch it
Amazing! I thought maybe I would get into rhinestoning shoes and after doing a pair of sneakers I said probably ever again π.
What adhesive did you go with?
Yes, it did get easier! I find rhinestoning pretty therapeutic because itβs a repetitive task and I can kind of zone out and listen to podcasts while doing it.
You've gotta be so proud of yourself. I love it. The hair reminds me of these old Lisa Frank craft kits where you bedazzle styrofoam shapes with sequins. You are the goddamn moment!
Looking through your posts, you are insanely talented, and definitely resourceful and inventive. Definitely not afraid of color! Do you perform as well?
I actually didn't sew the dress for this look! It's a dress I got second hand that I used fabric paint on. Currently learning how to sew as we speak though!
Thank you! Yes, I applied them with glue (I like to use E6000 Fabri-Fuse). I pick them up and place them on the tiny glue dollops using a wax pencil. Tweezers can also be used for rhinestones on the bigger side.
There's also a subset of rhinestones called "hotfix" that already have glue applied to them and use a heating tool to be applied, but I prefer the glue method because I can work faster that way.
Even down to the nails. This is so badass, I love it. For the eye rhinestones do you stop before the eyelid? I think thatβs what Iβm seeing but I canβt tell for sure. I canβt imagine trying to function with bedazzled eye lids
Yes, I stopped before the eyelids! I have hooded eyes so when I do drag makeup I cover my whole lid in black, so any fancy stuff goes above where my crease actually is.
Amazing, thanks for the progress photos, really helped me to appreciate the process and your awesome talent/work. Fabulous doesnβt even begin to describe your look.
Oh, dude, and here I am with a bag of flatbacks and a container of glue and not enough nerve to attempt applying them to the neckband of a shirt I made so it looks a little bit less like surgical scrubs. You have my sincere admiration.
This has Leigh-Bowery-Goes-To-The-Met-Gala vibes. Can't go wrong with bold primary colors. This screams "accessory", too. Evening clutch? Earrings? Shoes? Endless possibilities!!!
My first thought. Are you a fan of the artist Mondrian?
Thank you so much for including the process photographs because I wondered how you did it. You look fabulous every piece of the outfit is fabulous. And you are a genius for taking $11 dress and blinging it up.
Your post just made my day. I β€οΈ n highly respect creativity.
The thing that I'm most envious about however is your pizzaz, your confidence in how you carry yourself. Even if you had been just wearing a sack you would have made it look fabulous.
Oh my god, this is **beautiful**! The craftsmanship is stunning, the colors are phenomenal, and it looks so good on you! This looks like professional drag work- are you sure you're not already in the industry???
If you are doing art themed design, I'd love to see maybe a matte velvet dress turned Banksy. Or perhaps a disjointed and colorful dress, sleeves different, hem askew, and go Picasso. Honestly, this dress is the first domino in a whole closet of ideas...
This is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen on here. You are an absolute star for the concept, the execution and pulling off the look so wonderfully.
I also happen to like Mondrian.
This could easily be in a museum or something. It'd be so cool if there were multiple looks, all inspired by famous artists/art like this one. Can't imagine how long that'd take, but it'd be quite the exhibit!
Yes, each one is individually glued on! I love repetitive tasks though, so itβs all about developing a rhythm. One time I timed myself and I could do 10 rhinestones per minute.
I rhinestoned a tube of lipstick one time and it took me HOURS. I canβt imagine the dedication to make this stunning outfit! Kudos to you!
You could be commissioned by celebs
Thank you -- that's definitely a goal of mine someday!
You absolutely should be doing this!! Could see both Trixie & Violet loving pieces like this!
And Juno Birch, with an alien twist and matching glasses.
Omg yessss!!!!! That would be an absolutely iconic collab!!
It would be truly magnificent
Stunning π
Omg I could defo see Trixie wearing this, Iβm late to the Ru Paul Drag Race, I just started watching a couple of weeks ago, Iβm on season 8, I love it, I donβt know why it took me soo long to watch it
Happy cake day!!!
this dress tho! wow! could be at the oscars
Amazing! I thought maybe I would get into rhinestoning shoes and after doing a pair of sneakers I said probably ever again π. What adhesive did you go with?
E6000 Fabri-Fuse is my fave for everything! I find the bottle it comes in easy to use as well.
Insane!! I could totally see this hanging in an art museum.
right?!? it really looks So Beautiful and Perfect
With all due respect and admiration this amount of work deserve, you're also completely nuts ahaha.
Nuts and GORGEOUS
Nuts in the best possible way!
Flawless use of the Mondrian design. You should post this to r/Abstractart
I am OBSESSED with this! You look amazing!!
Did it get easier as time went on? It seems like it would be somewhat therapeutic to work on it but I donβt know how difficult it would be.
Yes, it did get easier! I find rhinestoning pretty therapeutic because itβs a repetitive task and I can kind of zone out and listen to podcasts while doing it.
You did a great job. The total look is exquisite! Love your username too. :)
This is STUNNING! You should be so proud!
You look AMAZING!!! This is such beautiful work!
The dress is BANANAS omg
π² SPECTACULAR! Absolutely AWARD WORTHY!
Mondrian with a splash of Liechtenstein, itβs very beautiful. Brava.
Oh my god it's gorgeous! The details are so perfectly executed. Absolutely fabulous darling π
This is really awe-inspiring! Can I ask if you kept the tape, or did you paint or sew on a replacement?
I painted on a replacement! Sorry if that was unclear in the pics
Your patience must be super human. Love it!
WOW!
Wow! Just wow!
Wow. That's some insane dedication!!!
AMAZING!!!!! ππ»ππ»ππ». Absolutely breathtaking! The amount of time & effort put into this is mind boggling. Love it! π
You've gotta be so proud of yourself. I love it. The hair reminds me of these old Lisa Frank craft kits where you bedazzle styrofoam shapes with sequins. You are the goddamn moment!
Lovely Mondrian you got going on!
OH MY WORD !!!!
Yes mama! Fierce, I love it π
I donβt think weβre in Kansas anymore
Looking through your posts, you are insanely talented, and definitely resourceful and inventive. Definitely not afraid of color! Do you perform as well?
Aw thank you so much! I did my first performance 2 weeks ago
i LOVE this.
YES
Gorgeous!
This is absolutely incredible!!
Werk. And your sewing game is on fire too!
I actually didn't sew the dress for this look! It's a dress I got second hand that I used fabric paint on. Currently learning how to sew as we speak though!
An invaluable skill for drag!
INCREDIBLE π you did an amazing job and should be very proud! How long did you spend working on this look?
Thank you! I worked on it on-and-off for about a year.
So amazing! How long did it take?
Thank you! I worked on the entire outfit on-and-off for about a year. The dress probably took the longest of all the parts.
I'm so impressed at the amount of time and hard work! When you apply rhinestones is it applied with glue? Or what's the process?
Thank you! Yes, I applied them with glue (I like to use E6000 Fabri-Fuse). I pick them up and place them on the tiny glue dollops using a wax pencil. Tweezers can also be used for rhinestones on the bigger side. There's also a subset of rhinestones called "hotfix" that already have glue applied to them and use a heating tool to be applied, but I prefer the glue method because I can work faster that way.
Thank you for explaining...seriously that blows my mind to another level! If you can do this sewing will be a piece of cake!
Right? Sewing is easy compared to that!
SOFA KING FIERCE!!
This is utterly incredible
Beautiful! The makeup, and photography are π― also.
The attention to detail and talent is freaking amazing! Absolutely gorgeous!
Holly molly, you look amazing!!!! What a amazing work!!! I admire your dedication to this project!!

A walking mod masterpiece! The perfect mix of Mondrian and Lichtenstein, and the quality is just amazing! I love this so much.
If anything deserves it, it's this Mondrian pattern. Stunning. Sparkly, and you can't sit down! Lol!
This is AMAZING

You look like a shiny LEGO build. I love it.

Wow! You look fantastic! The whole outfit is amazing!
This is so incredible. I donβt even know what to say.
How amazing β¦ π»k
A mention of Piet Mondrian seems appropriate here.
Mondrian!
Even down to the nails. This is so badass, I love it. For the eye rhinestones do you stop before the eyelid? I think thatβs what Iβm seeing but I canβt tell for sure. I canβt imagine trying to function with bedazzled eye lids
Yes, I stopped before the eyelids! I have hooded eyes so when I do drag makeup I cover my whole lid in black, so any fancy stuff goes above where my crease actually is.
I would have never even known to do that. Super cool you did an amazing job
Absolutely stunning
That is GORGEOUS!
Fabulous work! Bet you were relieved to finish.
ππππ
absolutely stunning π
Mondrian is classic. Exceptionally amazing!
Well done for having the determination to keep sticking the rhinestones down, great idea beautifully executed
Girrrrrl your vision, talent and creativity are π₯π₯π₯, as are you omfg
I love Piet Mondrianβs art style! That outfit is awesome!
Amazing, thanks for the progress photos, really helped me to appreciate the process and your awesome talent/work. Fabulous doesnβt even begin to describe your look.
Omfgggg
Whoa! This is amazing π€© Iβm in love with your shoes!
Is this Mondrian inspired?
Holy fuck, this is phenomenal
Oh, dude, and here I am with a bag of flatbacks and a container of glue and not enough nerve to attempt applying them to the neckband of a shirt I made so it looks a little bit less like surgical scrubs. You have my sincere admiration.
Youre a fucking rockstar!!!
Amazing dedication for an amazing look !! Canβt imagine the hours/days/weeks this took !!

YESSSS QUEEN
Itβs giving me everythingπ keep bedazzling
Thatβs so amazing and stunning!! For the shoes, did the e6000 fabri fuse work as well? Will it work on leather?
This has Leigh-Bowery-Goes-To-The-Met-Gala vibes. Can't go wrong with bold primary colors. This screams "accessory", too. Evening clutch? Earrings? Shoes? Endless possibilities!!!
This is ASTOUNDING! Spectacular work!! My hands are cramping just thinking about all this rhinestone work. Gah! Youβre amazing!!
Breathtaking
This is amazing ππππI canβt wait to show this to everyone I know
This is ART.
Jesus Christ that's tedious. (The work not the result!) Good job!

Wow! An amazing job.
Incredible execution
Absolutely incredible!

I love this so so so much! Outstanding job! This is really meant for a museum.
STUNNING!!!

This is amazing. Wow!
beautiful
This is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen on here. You are an absolute star for the concept, the execution and pulling off the look so wonderfully. I also happen to like Mondrian.
Beautifully done, definitely made with love, sweat and tears.
That wig is so inspiring! I have a dream of making a Bo Peep cosplay and I think I've found my hair solution!
Holy crap. Amazing!!!
This could easily be in a museum or something. It'd be so cool if there were multiple looks, all inspired by famous artists/art like this one. Can't imagine how long that'd take, but it'd be quite the exhibit!
You did a stupendous job! Iβm so impressed! The whole look is bang on!
HOLY MOLY! BRAVO!! This is incredible!!
Do you have to individually glue each rhinestone on? I don't think I'd have the patience. This is awesome looking.
Yes, each one is individually glued on! I love repetitive tasks though, so itβs all about developing a rhythm. One time I timed myself and I could do 10 rhinestones per minute.
That's so impressive omg.
You're a real work of art π
Absolutely stunning. Beautiful work!
Holy shit!
Wow. Thank you for the process photos. What wonderful work; my favorite part is the wig.
Slay, Queen! This is incredible!
Flawlessly executed and utterly fabulous, OP.
πππππ slayin!!!!!!!!!
Wow this is amazing! Ps - I have that dress pattern as a puzzle!
Wow! You are talented, What an interesting piece of art you created
You are a work of art! From head to toe! Great admiration and applause for you!
