Kaitlyn's Dress

 

Kaitlyn's dress is a combination of these 2 dresses.  The light green dress became the bodice and under skirt.  For the bodice, we highlighted the tone on tone embroidery by sewing on beading and added blue embroidery.  To mask the halter strap and add softness, stock blue fabric was added to the bust line and as cap sleeves.

The skirt of the periwinkle dress was split open and added over the base skirt to create a layered effect.  Stock trim was added to both layers with pleated green fabric added to the periwinkle layer.  The shawl from the periwinkle dress was added as a front swag, with the addition of beading.

The bustle was created out of the shawl of the green dress and flowers were sewn on to add volume and a softness...
