Indian Dress.jpg (119.44 KiB) Viewed 13087 times
This is an Indian wedding dress, which the client wanted to be able to remove and possibly down the line wear (we all know she never will)
It had an Mdf former cut to fit snug inside then was stuffed and lined in linen. The visible section in the waist line was then attached to the backboard by screwing in from behind. The dress is held in place with carefully placed stitches. I lined the board myself as it's 1.5 by 1.3metres, also wrapped the 10cm deep spacers. Framed in solid oak frame with hand gilded slip. UV glass
Please don't ask what I charged, having completed the job it's a bit of a
the price. I'll just say the oak alone was £400

Cool! That's quite large. Did you have the oak made for you?

Beautiful a lovely job to be proud of. Hope they had a strong wall. Do you know how they fixed it up?
To be creative we must lose our fear of being wrong.

Thank you. It had a ply wood sub frame on the rear which also acted as a split batten.
