As with several other dresses, weight was an issue so a lampshade was used to support the weight of the key chains on the wire wreath frame. The lanyards are attached so they can disperse the weight to the foam circle around the neck of the body form. The form then absorbs much of the weight of the key chains by default. And that my friends, is the extent of my engineering knowledge.
