We‘ve combined all of the DesignWorks techniques in our sample dress. With PaintWork, we’ve painted on tendrils and flowers as an outline or as whole and half flowers, in some cases edging them with embroidery. With CutWork, we‘ve cut out flowers from various fabrics and materials and appliquéd them, in some cases also forming flowers from several layers and sewing them onto the dress in the centre only for an amazing 3D effect. And with CrystalWork, we created flowers from rhinestones and ironed them on.
