top ten favorites! Parisienne Rose, captures the romance and excitement you would expect to see at a glittering ball in one of Europe’s capital cities, or perhaps gracing a shop window along the Champs d’Elise, enticing delighted passers-by to take a closer look.
Constructed of heavy silk taffeta hand-selected and imported
directly from China,
the brilliant red woven jacquard fabric is a delightful panorama of delicate
roses in red and black. The fabric itself served as inspiration for the ultimate
design. The close-fitting strapless gown has a darted dropped waist bodice and
a double gathered skirt trimmed in lace Melody herself created using software,
15,000 yards of fuchsia-colored thread Her Bernina worked furiously for over
100 hours on just the lace motifs, alone.
The long evening shawl, an original design, is
made of shocking pink polyester lined with red Chinese silk taffeta to match
the gown. The beautiful dimension you see is achieved with pin tucks stitched
with a 2.5 double needle and red thread just a few shades darker than the
fabric. Each of the 86 small lace motif along the shawl’s edges took 30 minutes
to stitch, and the 14 larger ones each required over an hour.
Both gown and shawl are embellished with 5,000 Swarovski
crystals, ranging in size from 3 to 5 mm. Their brilliant
colors – fuchsia, ruby, rose, Siam,
light Siam, and
light Siam Aurora Borealis – twinkle and flash, just like the eyes of the
beautiful woman fortunate enough to wear this chic and stunning ensemble.
