Our Lady of Guadalupe Dress cont..

 

With much pattern engineering the dress came out quite lovely. We included the handwritten prayer to Our Lady at the hem which sways and moves with the body. Leah's writing has become part of the fabric and makes this piece a collaboration of both our love for Mary. The roses appear from below the surface, framing our Holy Mother with a garden of cobalt blue. The lining is a prayer to St. Michael the Archangel, who we ask to defend us in battle. It is spiritual armor to be put on and worn close. 

An elegant dress that delicately moves. The chiffon makes this like a dancer's dress, one to celebrate the joys of life and praise Our Lady for her blessings.
