'Degas' Bridesmaid Dress


This is my second attempt at designing a dress inspired by Degas' ballet paintings. The first one didn't go particularly well, so I started again from scratch and created this one instead. This dress is specifically based on Degas' 1874 painting 'Stage Rehearsal' and copies the floating, full skirted white dresses in that painting.

The dress has a wide bateau neckline, with a small frill around it. The dress has a very full skirt which would be created with a net underskirt. The dress reaches to mid-calf. It would be fastened using an invisible zip at the back.

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/
