Balloon Wedding Dress
Supplies:
1 half mannequin with stand (purchased off of eBay)
1 Medium size White Corset
1 necklace of your choice
Fishing Line
12 in White Balloons
12 in Pearl White Balloons
12 in Clear Balloons
12 in Swirl Balloons from Party City (Optional)
5 in White Balloons

Steps:
You will make 4 garlands in different sizes. Using the duplet and quad method to build a garland. Add enough quads to make the dress as wide or narrow as you want it to be.
1st garland for the bottom layer of the dress, inflate balloons 7.5 inches
2nd garland inflate balloons to 6.5 inches
3rd garland inflate balloons to 5.5 inches
4th garland (goes around the waist) inflate balloons about 4 inches
Once each garland is complete, you will connect the ends to form a circle around the mannequin with the fishing line. Next, add the 2nd layer, and using the fishing line, connect it to the 1st layer pulling tight but not too tight to keep from popping any balloons. Repeat the method until all layers have been attached an secured in place. Make sure to fill in any gaps by closing them with fishing line or adding an additional balloon in that spot.
You can add the corset first as a measuring guide for how far the balloons should go around the waist.
Train Optional:
Add tulle or any white sheer fabric to make a train if you desire, by just tucking it through the balloons on the backside of the mannequin.
