Celtic Wedding Dress

This Medieval wedding dress was made for a friend of mine. Her dress is made of satin in two different colors.  The velvet bodice and the skirt front is trimmed with rhinestones.  The sleeves are lined and trimmed with silver lace.
This dress was a challenge to make because of all the eyelets

Both sides of the bodice, the back and the armhole, including the skirt, required about 80 eyelets to be inserted.  This pictures shows the side of the bodice.  The upper part of the picture shows the eyelets for the attachment of the sleeves. I used silver cord and covered all the ends with aiglets.

This dress is worn by the lead soprano in "la Boheme" from the Kitsap Opera. Unfortunately, there wasn't much light in the tiny hallway.  The fabric is medium weight cotton with a tiny print.  There is satin trim around her neckline, sleeves and the edge of her skirt.  She is not wearing her lacy bonnet.

This is one of the first Cinderella dress that I made for a customer.   The bodice is lined and is closed with 3 snaps. The dress also includes a tulle petticoat.

The bodice is made of gold lame fabric.  The skirt is light blue satin with an overskirt of chiffon painted with gold stars.
The neckline and the front of the overskirt is trimmed with a gold/irredescent trim.
