Initial thoughts:
Skirt a la Maksy from the Autumn Leaves Dress but with silk rose petals in lilac and silver. An underbust corset or waspie with attached skirt of shorter petals. Green chemise with loose sleeves cut like rose leaves. Leather/wire thorn wraps around wrists, neck. Leather thorns sans wire scattered through the skirt. Spiders???

Obtained air-dry clay. Stick-on giant thorns? Thorn clips in hair!
