Sewing Elizabeth Taylor's Dress from "Suddenly, Last Summer" (1959)

Описание: Hello! I decided to take on this project of recreating this green dress Elizabeth Taylor wore in Suddenly, Last Summer (1959) originally designed by Oliver Messel. I have learned alot throughout this process and I think I may have found one of my favorite actresses along the way. Dame Elizabeth was a talented actress who worked tiredlessly for AIDS/HIV. She stepped up and made alot of contributions, I love her!

This is a long video so get cozy! I apologize for the length I just don't know how or what to film yet.. still getting used to this 😊
