Denise

Denise knew she wanted a two-piece outfit, a fitted dress with a soft flared skirt, and a sleeved coat with long sleek lines. She also asked for colour, preferably linking the pair together. We resolved on this design with coloured goddets set into a pearl coloured dress and a warm mauve coat with a slashed skirt to accentuate the swish of the extra fabric in the dress. The coat was lined with the same fabric as the dress adding an extra silky dimension to the inside of the tails.

We used a matching corded lace on the bodice neckline, both front and back, and on the cuffs of the coat sleeves. The pretty floral design decorated with beads and sequins added just enough glamour to finish the two garments beautifully.

A co-ordinating headpiece was fashioned from the same lace with several strings of coloured beads designed to trail amongst Denise’s long curls.
