Final layer is the box that holds the drawer. The box is embellished with a circle popped with foam squares, wmbellished with die cut Filigree Elements Border cut in half for each side of the circle. Original design had the die cut Fabulous word across the dres but since the dress is popped with foam squares, it is positioned at the bvottom of the box.
A closer look at the dress. Simply embellish the popped up dress with one single adhesive rhinestone at the waist.
