I Made A Dress with 3,000 Beetle Shells

Lady Gwyn made this stunning dress comprising of 3,000 beetle shells. The shells each had two holes drilled, they were then hand sewed on a thrifted velvet dress. The shells are from farmed beetles which are consumed, the shells are the leftovers, completed in 8 days.
