Design Information
FABRIC DETAILS:
20 metres of silk organza and gazar were used to create flounces with floating edges that rise in stately, sculptural waves, accentuating the shape of the body.
To achieve a polished and shiny finish on the black silk velvet, the pile was pressed flat and finished by hand.
HOURS OF WORK:
It took approx. 400 hours to develop this gown.
