Do you remember the Young Victoria Dress Replica I made fall of 2012? The one that got displayed in Blenhiem Palace? Well, I just completed the Young Victoria Violet Dress 2.0.
This version was a custom dress for a client in Italy. I had a lot of fun with it, and only made a few variations from my original design.
The fabric was a luscious pink/blue shot silk taffeta.
A double ruffle of English netting lace at the elbow.
The flowers were a combination of silk irises and velvet lilacs.
Details.
I did change the back fastening from lacing to hidden hooks and eyes.
I've go a lot of neat dress commisions coming up in the near future.
Interestingly they are almost all silk. Fun stuff!
Oh very pretty, Atlanta! I wish I could sew as well as you do! :) You are very blessed!

Just beautiful, and you gave me a good idea for a trim piece I want to do down the front of my 1830s gown.

Beautiful, love the details on the bodice area. I hope she sends a photo to you with her wearing the dress.
