Megan's Dress

Megan's dress started with the gun metal 2-piece, in the upper right corner.  To build off the halter strap, light grey shoulder straps were added with a very light stock shear silver layer.  Rhinestones were added to the bustle to help play with the tone-on-tone embroidery.

Using the same gun metal dress for the under skirt, we cut the top off of the burgundy dress, in the upper left corner, and draped it as the over skirt.  It was gathered to give it some volume and dimension.  To add depth, the burgundy velvet dress, in the lower right corner, was draped and tucked into the gathers of the over skirt.

The bustle was created by using the shawl of the dress, in the upper left corner.  Ribbon loops were created by sewing stock grey and burgundy ribbons together.  The same shear silver fabric from the shoulder straps was utilized to add a lightness and some movement.

The train utilized a skirt, similar to the white gown, in the lower left corner.  A light grey/silver skirt was cut open  and tucked up into the bustle, allowed to pool onto the floor...
