This dress was designed for a January wedding with winter white fabrics and a red velvet sash. The pattern was based on a 1950s style fitted bodice with sweetheart neckline and a lace overlay; the skirts were very full with layers of coloured petticoats. The delicate lace, tiny crystal accents, and shiny red buttons all tied in with the overall theme. The outfit was completed by a short net veil with a large self-fabric bow. 

The outfit took approximately 25 hours to complete.
