This concept was born of a potential client inquiry. She wanted to be a vampire bride. She like the sleeves of this dress . . .
And she like the style of this dress, but she wanted something new and original so she asked me if I could come up with a new design based on these ideas.
This is what I came up with. A white umpire waist dress with black lace overlay across the bodice center and then opening over the skirt with sort of a bat-wing inspired edge. Red ribbon details, and a black silk bat at waist. A high black lace collar to mimic a Dracula style cape. The hat and veil I drew in just for fun.
She was really happy with the design but couldn't afford it if I made it from new materials, so I tried to work with her and said I could cut costs a lot if I could remake a second-hand dress. She never got back to me with her measurements though, so I'm assuming she found something else. It was really fun to design this costume so I truly hope she had a Happy Halloween!
