Making of Garden of Eden Gown (part 1)

I designed a gown for my customer Alethea who is attending the Prestige Ball-one of the most important events for the rich and famous. She is also my regular customer who modelled my Ming collection :) Before she sends me her pretty photos, I will revealed the making of the gown in episodes. Cant wait!

We spent 4 days sewing on the individual flowers onto the bodice. One by One. I pinned the flowers on myself which took almost a day! I wanted to create the feeling of a Garden of Eden Goddess.

Look at how close the flowers are on the bodice. And how they seem to be real with beads sewn onto them.
