What a treat to be able to design a frame for this fabulous dress!!
Wanting to keep focus on the dress and its design, a simple linen mat was chosen that was half and half, as the dress is. To break between the matting and black frame, a magenta was chosen as a contrasting color for lining the sides of this shadow box.
The dress is carefully stitched on the perimeter and again around each center circle to support the weight of the garment. The zipper was hidden by adding a partial lining that was sewn in the neckline.
Overall size is 51 x 31
