The prompt word for last week's drawing challenge from @thetuesdaycollective on Instagram was "Ann Lowe" who was the first African-American to become a renowned fashion designer. Her unique designs were worn by high-society, including Jackie O. I chose to draw the neckline of this debutante dress, but gave it an updated look.
This dress was designed in 1967 and I was drawn to the trailing rosebuds that adorn the neckline of this simple white taffeta dress. The rosebuds are made from red velvet and the leaves and stems are made from a green silk fabric.
From the front, the dress is a simple princess line style, and the white taffeta makes a great background for the rosebuds to stand out.
From the back, the dress has this stunning rose bouquet that starts in the small of the back and trails down the back of the dress.
