This is a design I
did quite a while ago based around a picture of a frieze I found in the
guidebook for Saltram, near Plymouth. Shapes used in the frieze are used for
the bodice of the dress. The dress has a corset style top and uses stiffened
petal shapes taken from the frieze to form off-shoulder sleeves. The middle
petal at the front of the corset joins onto a thin band of material, forming a
halter-neck. Gold embroidery is used to outline and emphasise the shapes used
for the bodice. The skirt is kept simple, it is narrow and left plain. The
dress would be fastened at the back using an invisible zip. The back of the
dress would look similar to the front, but without the central petal that joins
the front of the bodice to the halter-neck.
I hope you liked
this design. For more designs, check back here next week, or visit my every-day
