This was made as a wedding dress from beaded silk chiffon, which I have boiled to remove the silver lining from the beading (to achieve an effect more closely to the original dress, which was beaded with clear beads), and silk satin. The belt is hand- and machine embroidered. Below are also some pictures of […]
