'Saltram Frieze' Wedding Dress



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 wear blog: www.bronzedaledesigns.blogspot.co.uk/
