She was going to be a godmother at my nephew's wedding. Her designer friend who initially told her that he'd do her gown was suddenly busy. So, she was left looking for something to wear.
The wedding theme was "Modern Filipiniana" and she was planning to wear a traditional butterfly-sleeved terno with ethnic beading.
After talking to her designer friend, he said that he could "possibly" do the beadwork if she could provide the dress. This is when she came to me and asked if we could whip up a dress in a week. Our reply - Challenge Accepted.
Since it was a base for beadwork, the terno should be simple, but with an interesting silhouette. The dress should be a blank canvas, but should be beautiful on its own. And this is the sketch that I came up with:
It's a straight dress with godet panels, and a vertical seam to make the wearer look more long and lean. The sketch, along with thee materials, were sent to our new go-to modista, who came up with this:
With or without beading, this terno will surely rock!
