Wedding Dress Painting

I decided to display this tea length gown on a pretty antique-style dressmakers bust to show off the beautiful full shape. This bride had had heels and a clutch made in a matching teal colour to her sash... when she told me this, I placed these on the floor beneath the dress to create a pretty composition. The final touch was her bouquet of white roses & foliage, laid on a table next to the dress. I really do love painting & drawing wedding dresses...for me, it is almost as much fun as trying them on!!! :)
