The Wedding dress took many hours to design and construct it is made from Ivory Silk Dupion and is embelished with embroidered roses.   I digitised the embroidery with my computer software then transferred this to my embroidery machine, once these had been stitched out they were then hand sewn onto the dress, the embroidered roses on the dress complemented the theme of the wedding.  I also designed and made the red silk chief bridesmaids dress together with my own pink embroidered silk dress which was complemented by a matching plain silk jacket.
