ABOUT THE PROJECT
THE PROCESS

This gorgeous duchesse satin gown has a silhouette based on Dior’s New Look of the late 1940s and early 1950s. The shape of the nipped waist is supported by boning and the full skirt held by yards and yards of tulle in the petticoat.

The gown features an elegant draping of silk chiffon which is embellished by hand embroidery featuring pearls and silver thread.
