Stamp the flowers using versamark on vellum paper and heat embossed them with blush pearl embossing powder. Cut the flowers with coordinating die and slightly shape with ball tool. Glue half cut pearl in the middle of the flowers.

Glue the flowers on the dress using hot melted glue. Take another piece of tulle and stick it on the dress as shown in the picture. Glue half cut pearl on the edges of the tulle and the neckline of the dress. Glue two buttons on the dress as shown in the picture. For the finished look glue some pieces of wool on dress for more shabby effect.
