Yep ^^ no photoshop involved. I am very proud of her. The pattern that her dress is modeled after belongs to simplicity ^^ I take no credit for their genius.

For those perhaps wondering the story behind this kamiki had bought the pattern with the intent to recreate the dress on the front... well.. more like have me recreate the dress on the front but never mind. After purchasing the pattern we discovered we also had to make a hoop skirt and corset. Sad to say, those are very expensive to make. The dress would have probably come to about 300-600$ just for the materials (not joking... that things a lot of fabric). Because of that kamiki, heartbroken, gave up on getting the dress.
