I'm running a day
late - sorry about that. I was supposed to post this yesterday and then one
thing rolled into another, I got loads of other things done, and then suddenly
realised today that I'd completely forgotten to put this post up! So here it
is:
'He Wishes For The
Cloths of Heaven' by W. B. Yeats is among my favourite poems (and according to
the BBC Book 'The Nation's Favourite Poems' it's Britain's 10th favourite poem)
but aside from that it is a poem that seems to sum up what marriage, or any kind
of love really, is about. How do you turn a poem like that into a sketch for a
wedding dress? I'm not exactly sure, but this is what came to mind when I
decided to have a go at it.
It is a simple
design, using a cream silky material that falls reasonably loosely. The only
real decoration is in the gold satin twist that outlines the neckline and then
continues round to form off-the-shoulder sleeves. This design is intended to be
made out of a very lightweight material with a slip petticoat underneath, as
such it should swirl beautifully during dancing and would suit a late spring or
summer wedding when the weather is warmer.
I hope you like this
design. For more designs check back here next week, or check my everyday-wear
