A few months ago, I had the pleasure of making the Obsession gown for Kirstin van der Flier Design from The One | Home of Bridal Couture in Ireland
Kirstin wanted to add some custom flower details, asymmetrically scattered on the shoulder and lower bodice. Of course this sounded fun, so I set about making some options for her.
I used the same Taffeta as the gown, cutting and burning each petal by hand, then layering them together.
I may have been a little too enthusiastic to begin with, making the first flower so large it took over the mannequin. A little boldness never hurts right?
Being that she is based in Dublin, I ended up sending over a mixture of sizes that she could play around with. See the last photo.
It kind of makes me want to add a new design with flower details? Fun right?
