This post is just to show more photographs of my Pre-Raphaelite inspired dress. I'm sorry for the image overload. They're not even good quality photographs since didn't use a nice camera and the dress wouldn't fit over my dress form due a short zip (my fault) so I have no photographs of what it looks like on. Perhaps when I get it back, I'll be able to post better photographs.
Some of the things I didn't mention in my other post were that I lined the bodice with a Liberty of London cotton lawn which happens to be designed by Pre-Raphaelite member, William Morris. I also had to add extra support to the shoulder strap to hold all the draping down or it would do its own thing. The skirt is made up of a base skirt which is just a simple A-Line skirt with a few darts in the back. I then draped chiffon over the sides to create a petal/ tulip look. My photographs make this look confusing so new photographs really would help. Oh well... I'm just glad to have handed this project in already.
It's so beautiful!
