Waterfall Hand Beaded Dress – Flower Power

A fellow creative described ‘Flower Power’ as a dress to dance in; she had visions of the Tango as the voluminous hemline supported the twists and expressions in this movement of dance.

I fell in love with the simplicity of the sketched outline, white flowers set on a black background; I still felt, however, the flowers needed to have life injected into them, something that would create an additional interest. Something that would say, this dress like the wearer is different, this dress like the wearer makes you take a second look.

My solution hand-beading using delicate glass and seed pearl beads for the stigma, the centre of its being.  Mindfully sewn in place so as not to distort the fabric or inconvenience the wearer.

A stand collar with drop-shoulder sleeves, the shape of Flower Power glides over your body, caressing your hips, falling into a waterfall hemline dress with a difference. Legs want to be seen, and yet at the same time have an element of mystery, which is where the finely woven netting makes an appearance: subtle sensuality.
