Lynne came to us as she had been to a wedding last year, where we had made the Wedding dress. She was full of ideas of having 3 bridesmaids dresses, with 3 different necklines, but a common theeme.
We came up with some ideas, and Lynne settled for the chiffon Changeant material in this gorgeous shade. Changeant means that it has been wowen with 2 different colours of thread one colour for warp and one for weft. this gives it a much more lively look, and in particular the sheer materials becomes much more vibrant in this way. We had even more benefit of the changeant material as the dresses were cut with some parts on the bias and some on the straight fabric.
All 3 dresses had a boned bodice with ruching on top, and then a double circle skirt for each one. That means, if you lift up the hem above your head, you have a full circle of skirt in front of you, and a full circle behind you… this is what makes these dresses seem so lush… lots of luxurious material. They looked fab and were accessorised with fab shoes, very city chique look.
The 3 bodices were:
Strapless, halterneck, and one shoulder dress.
