The inspiration for
this dress came from the frame of a Chinese mirror painting that hangs at
Saltram, a National Trust property near Plymouth. I've used the Saltram
guidebook for several wedding dress designs (see the 'Lady Catherine' wedding
dress or the 'Dorchester House Chandelier' wedding dress.)
For this design, the
frame that I was using had a criss-cross pattern across part of it, and I have
used this around the neckline and waist of the dress. The criss-cross pattern
is made up of interwoven strips of gold material which are then sewn onto the
main dress. There is also gold around the short sleeves, and the main dress is
a pale ivory colour. The dress has a soft 'V' shaped neckline and a loosely
gathered, semi-full skirt which reaches to the ankles.
I hope you liked
this design. For more designs, check back here next week, or visit my every-day
