Miss Russia Round 3

I loved this round. I had a hell of a time figuring out what I was going to do, but damn, I love how it turned out.
First doll: burlesque: I knew I wanted to do corset and feathers and so much glamor and diamonds it would hurt. The jewels and gems are diamonds, pearls and alexandrite (which was first found in Russia and named after the tzar). I read somewhere (so no idea if it is true or not) that the Russian Tzars wore so many large jewels, it basically acted as armor.
Second doll: formal wear using the least prominent colour of the flag: Russia has equal colours on their flag, so I went for the colour I haven't done a full outfit with, white. I again, wanted so much glitz and glamor and sparkles. I was finally able to figure out snap-hiss sparkle tutorial and used it! The tiara is based off of a Russia tiara that the Queen of England now has. I put Alexandrite in it instead of emeralds.
