This dress is made in silk duppioni color soft gold. It has a ballony skirt divided in 8 petals. At the center of each petal, I put a big tear that has been machine embroidered and embellish also with cristals. The top or blouse is just very simple design but has been also machine embroidered in gold and embellixh with crystals. At the back had a conceled zipper and laces up. The veil is made in french tulle and it has crystals all scatered ….. The skirt is very very full, and it took 24 yds of silk, but even that you wont belive this, it was not a heavy garment at all. The bride was very happy, and I was too, I loved the fitting!!!

I wish I could have been right beside you when you did this. I would like to have your strong skill. You must carry on. Congratulations on such a superb job.
