Red "Moth" Dress

This gown was created for the Red Dress Fashion show at Oregon State University in Jan. 2012. 

Construction

The gown features a large beaded motif at the center front that I designed and hand beaded. I like to call it a moth shape but it's just supposed to be abstract! The majority of the dress is a red sparkle organza and is cut into many circle flounces to make it very full. The dress zips up the back and is lined and boned. The dress was patterned using draping and flat patterning techniques.
