Back view of wedding dress




Wedding dress

This wedding dress was draped on my form. It is made of a continuous piece of lace. The lining is made of silk. I had this piece of lace in my studio and was motivated to design a wedding dress. The fabric was my main inspiration, the bride will have to fit the dress.

Bust 36 1/4" Waist 26" Hips 36"

Show at the California Art Institute

Two of my sculptural dresses were on display for a month at the California Art Institute. Students in the fashion department were very interested in the techniques and process I used to design the dresses.
It was rewarding to inspire and encourage the students to experiment with an open mind.
