'Madame de la Chere' Bridesmaid Dress



This dress is inspired by a painting owned by the National Trust and displayed at Sizergh Castle in Cumbria. The lady in the painting is called Mary Matthews, Madame de la Chere and she is wearing a very beautiful dress. I have used the style of her dress for this bridesmaid dress, though I have used different colours.

The dress has a double row of lace along the neckline, and is off-the-shoulders. It has a simple bodice and a fairly full, floor length skirt. I originally designed this dress in a moss green colour, but once I'd done it I decided that it didn't really suit the style. I then tried it in this parchment colour and felt that it suited the style much better.

I hope you liked this design. For more designs, check back here next week, or visit my every-day wear blog: www.bronzedaledesigns.blogspot.co.uk/
