ROMAN SILK

Back in high school, I dreamed up a vision of pink silk...

Made out of a floaty and buttery 100% silk, the top of the bodice is hand pleated, the straps are pin tucked and adorned with a self-fabric plait. 

I adapted the design from a vogue pattern. I love the colour, very pink yet almost nude. I was inspired by the amazing draping techniques of the ancient greeks, and I remember wanting to look like a greek goddess with that laurel-wreath style headband. The dress was worn to my year 12 formal.
