I've recently been
rewatching the BBC's 2015 Poldark series, and so with all the talk of copper
mining in it, perhaps it's not surprising that I ended up designing a dress
inspired by copper. Searching for images of it, you begin to appreciate what a
beautiful colour copper is, as is the colour it goes when it is left to the
elements. I really wanted to include both of those colours in the dress as they
complement each other so well. In the end I decided to use this effect, where
the blue-green merges into the copper quite subtly, with no definitive line in
between the colours.

| Detail of decoration around the neckline |
The design for the
dress is quite simple: a floor length dress with quite a slim skirt and thin
copper coloured straps. The only real decoration on the dress other than the
colours is around the neckline, where three strands of thin copper coloured
braiding have been loosely interwoven. There isn't need for anything else, the
beautiful colours of copper are decorative enough.
I hope you liked
this design. For more designs, check back here next week, or visit my every-day
