From little things.....

Here is the dress that I made Liz, for her daughter Kate's wedding.( mother of the bride )
We started with a picture ripped out of a magazine from the dentist.by Liz.
We had a few practice goes of working out how the hang of the fabric would work and
then it was all systems go!!.

The outside layer is a rusty red silk satin , backed with a finer silk in a bright orange.

The idea was that the arms were draped with the lines of silk satin with open strips, to hide the upper arm slightly and for the fabric to drape and flow.

The main dress is a dark burgundy with a stripe of the rust red fabric sewn at the bottom. Also a lovely embroidered silk in a pink and orange that we found to match.
With a covered button in the same fabric.

p.s. the wedding was A HUGE success more pics to come soon.
