I’m so delighted to finally reveal my gown I have sewn for The Dressmaker’s Ball 2026!

I go into further detail about the inspirations in this post, or watch the “The Long video” (7minutes 40 seconds) below. It’s a late 1990’s Renaissance Revival look!

The Short Video:

This video is inspired by the series “The Medici” on Amazon prime. It is my attempt at creating a short Renaissance Revival film. I had fun making this. I used some footage I took at the Miramar Castle in Trieste, Italy, and some I took at the Elk Memorial and Museum in Chicago. I filmed the castle footage with me in it, at Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis. Other parts were just filmed in our neighborhood. I added some clips from the Amazon Prime series “Medici” to make it tell a story of my King protecting me and the Kingdom.
