phantom of the opera dress Finally finished my 1880s Wishing Gown from Opera! Pic by @haroldspierenburg : r/HistoricalCostuming Would make a gorgeous cosplay or ballgown for a victorian ball or party Christine Daae Think of Me

This is a great dressing to make in larger batches if you love it and want to keep in fridge for a dinner party or to serve more of it than the recipe amkes With that being said

Open-toed shoes, sandals, or sneakers: Everything that you would wear to the beach should stay home
