A mix of creative stoning to get a lovely ombre effect
This particular dress was designed to take advantage of a simple silhouette and let the stoning take centre stage. The client was particular about having a sleeveless design with a high neckline contrasted with a plunging back so I selected midnight blue smooth velvet and satin chiffon to really show off the depth of this shade.
Using the star shaped panels and godets for the skirt I was able to pick out the dramatic points and echo it in the full stoning of the upper bodice and arcs over the hips.
SS20 crystals in sapphire, sapphire AB and topaz AB were selected to create a graduated effect that reflects the midnight velvet perfectly. The neckline is showcased with a simple row of large sapphire pears. Rivoli rounds also in sapphire were used to add depth to the bodice and hips.
To finish off this dress I added classic floats in satin chiffon attached to narrow velvet wrist bands also stoned in the same combination as the bodice. Underskirts in cappuccino organza complimented the topaz AB crystals, and a fishing line hem gave the skirt a lovely fullness from the calf down. The two layers of godets were finished off in gathered midnight crinoline.
