Red Lace




From the Marchesa Fall Winter 2011/2012 Ready-To-Wear collection. The model is Lee Hyun Li.


The collection was inspired by the Dickens character Miss Havisham.

I'm guessing that Marchesa had the lace made from scratch for this dress so that the designs would fall perfectly symmetrically. Matching lace is a very tricky task, even when you're dealing with thicker, more commonplace stuff. I'd be really interested to learn how this dress was constructed. Although lace matching can cover seams flawlessly, there don't seem to be any seams in the train.
