Above is an example I followed for the colour of the petals. For the spraypainting of petals, I ended up using three colours: copper, rose and pink. I really tried to vary each petal to make it look more organic. I hope that these colours speak of a nostalgic feeling.
I ended up liking the colours. However, I realised the more I moved the petals the more the paint would chip off.
As for the top, I sewed the organza and the lining together following the prototype I had made. At the time, my model was slightly bigger and so I had to cut a bigger piece. I doubled the layer for the front and back. And the front had an extra layer of brown lining for modesty. Because the cloth was so fine, It was difficult to align the darts perfectly, what more aligning each layer on top of each other perfectly as well.
