They are the very stiff and skinny pleats that are made of material-covered plastic. If I make the pleats like you did, then they should hide the fact that it started out as a pleated lampshade. Am I making any sense?

Amazing! You are so incredibly talented. I love all the shades but yes, the last one is just like a beautiful gown. The reading nook is so comfy and warm in appearance…such a great idea. I’m so tired of my bedroom…lots of wonderful ideas here!

I LOVE the 3rd lampshade, even though the style wouldn’t fit in my home. But it is oh-so-loverly & very luxurious. It does indeed look like a million bucks! You always come up with such utterly amazing ideas!

Oh, I love the ballgown lampshade! Anthro, eat your heart out!
I just did a pair of lampshades last week (although now I’m wishing I had read your post first!)

Wow! I love the lampshades. They all look lovely but the last gown inspired one is my absolute favorite. Your reading corner looks so lush and cozy. A perfect spot to curl up with a book.
