Private work......customsing alterations on a clients wedding dress

I have had the opportunity to work privately on a clients wedding dress, working to her particular design brief to produce her dream dress. I worked on creating customising touches to enable my client to own her dress of her desire. Here are a selection of photographs showing the development of my work such as making up the hand made roses, beading with the incorporated colours red and black and creating the pleated sleeve details.

The hand made roses created by 7 circles for each flower, hand sewing each flower and then hand stitching onto the bust of the dress.

Hand beading work onto the lace appliques, introducing the chosen colour palette of my client red and black. the small accents of the colour delicately introduces the palette without over powering the whole dress.

Hand made pleated detachable sleeve detail. Created as a discrete cover up, using a sheer chiffon with a circular rose flower detail on top of the shoulders. Introducing the black from the colour palette.
