A summer wedding in the country

 I designed this wedding dress for a dancer.
She didn't want the bodice to be constricted so I pleated it on the bias to create some stretch.
The bottom ruffle was tucked up in four places to allow freedom of movement while dancing.
 

The dress is made of silk. The trim is hand pleated silk organza and taffeta.
The straps are elasticized for stability.
