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

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, here is a video I enjoyed watching of her at the GLAAD awards. https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/ElSCFzpYWrc This is a long video so get cozy! I love to watch long videos when im sewing or just cleaning around the house ☺️. I hope you enjoy this video I will try to link helpful resources down below.
