Look like a princess that just stepped out of a Disney movie made up of diamond white silk organza, soft ice blue, and shimmer tulle fabrics. This dress was inspired by Cinderella's beautiful ball gown. The bodice and skirt are covered in three dimensional flowers and petals that each had to be beaded with pearls and Swarovski crystals alternating in colour and size. French lace is lovingly hand sewn onto luxurious layers of fabrics which serve as the base for the hand appliquéd details. The bodice and skirt are adorned with the perfect amount of Swarovski crystals. The inside is made entirely of boning to create a hard unbendable structure which serves as the base.
- Time to create: 1.5 years
- The gown itself had 80 meters of fabric, 26yards of lace and 18 meters of canvas.
- The shell of the dress had 75 yards of boning and 250 meters of crinoline.
- The pattern and base for the gown took three weeks to create and sew (not to mention the challenge of figuring out how to make it)
- Thousands of pearls and Swarovski crystal 700 flowers, petals and leaves each beaded.
- The gown is lined in 18 meters of shimmer cut crystal tulle.
- 6ft train from waist
