BRAND NEW! - Knotwork Fan #1

Knotwork Fan #1 was designed and made by Rachel Murphy of Silverlode Needlecraft, and is part of the “fan series” following the Dragon Fan dress of 2007.  The primary base fabric is a rich fuchsia-gold metallic silk, and the appliqué consists of various metallic fabrics in sunset colors, with a “fan” of wheat-gold glitterdots and brocades.  More symmetrical than it’s sister-dress Rose Fan, it is a design that may be repeated by Silverlode Needlecraft in another color scheme.  All embroidery is freehand machine work in metallic and rayon threads.  The pleats—front and back—are made of a dark lilac holographic lycra, 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 will have many Swarovski crystals in colors of “light rose” and “jonquil”. 

Knotwork Fan #1 is suitable for a young dancer with approximately the following measurements:

Chest: 26”
Waist: 24”
Back of the neck, to waist: 13.5”
Skirt length: 13.5”
Sleeve length: 19”
