I was commissioned to make a replica of the Elsa Schiaparelli dress for a tv documentary. The dress was made in 1940. Although Elsa was famous for her very extravagant designs it’s believed the designer always favoured the simple black dress. She often wore black herself. She donated this dress to the V & A museum when she retired where you can still view it today. The first 2 photos are my dress and the rest are the original. It’s a beautiful simple shape embellished with various size pearls depicting the lily flowers. The goldwork technique used for the stems is called broad plate. I demonstrate this technique in my goldwork course available via my website link in bio
