“Rose Fan” ~ SOLD
Jan 20th, 2009 by Rachel Murphy
Rose Fan is a one-off original design by Rachel, and another of the “fan series” following the Dragon Fan dress of 2007. The base is a pale icy pink metallic silk, and the appliqué consists of various metallic fabrics—especially brocades—in shades of pink, red, and pale gold. All embroidery is freehand machine work in metallic and rayon threads. The pleats—front and back—are made of a dark pink glitterdot, and the sleeves, with a slight bell-shape, are accented with a feathery trim at the cuffs, which is repeated on the soft shawl. The dress has many Swarovski crystals in colors of “fuchsia” and “rose”.
