The story of a dress

1170lucky-3604

We’ve gotten so many comments about Eunice’s fabulous wedding dress! She came up with the original design of her dress and made a sketch with a rough idea of what she was looking for.

She then handed the sketches off to Iain Bartlett (also know as H!L UK Sales manager), trusting him implicitly to turn them into the fabulous concoction that he came up with. He hand-stitched all those ruffles on (literally hundreds), and made a beautiful petticoat from raw silk and this amazing fabric made of bits of netting — it looked like the under skirt was trimmed in feathers.
