'Marie Spartali Stillman' Dress


This dress is inspired by a painting I came across by Marie Spartali Stillman called Madonna Pietra degli Scrovegni. The dress in the painting is really beautiful, and so I have attempted to copy elements of it for this design. The painting only shows the top half of the dress, so I have had to improvise the skirt.

 The dress is made up of an under-blouse and a dress over top of it, joined together. The blouse is a mustard yellow colour and is pleated along the neckline, it has long sleeves. Over top of this is the dress which is a moss green colour. It has pleats around the neckline and puffed sleeves. It has a belt in the same mustard yellow colour as the blouse. The skirt is floor length.

 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/
