This was originally planned to be one of those pieces where the dress would be carefully rendered in shiny, high-contrast detail. But, I realized that it would actually detract from the "story" here, and refrained from indulging too much. I think it worked out well in the end.
The high-resolution version of this piece is now uploaded to behindandysdames.com.
The original art for this is available for sale here: andysdames.bigcartel.com
