This mode is very simple in look and yet, has many ways to embellish. Use your imagination. Though the gown appears quite plain in appearance, the pattern can be challenging. The mannequin is porcelain with a 14K gold fired neck finial. Both the pattern and the mannequin are created for you by IGMA Artisan Kathi R. Mendenhall. The gown is created from Orchid silk taffeta, and is complimented by a tightly fitted bodice of matching orchid silk brocade. Dress was inspired by Tom Tierney Gibson Girl paper doll, but the detailed cape came directly from the fashion pages of the time. The shoulders are richly "embroidered" with silk trim buds and bows. The short fluted cape is created in the same orchid silk, but with an eye-popping lining of deep olive green which blends perfectly with the silk trim. To complete the look we've added a beautiful pearl and amethyst necklace dropped from a perfectly sized silk cord. The purse just completes the ensemble.
