The large chunk of lockstitch got broken up with sinuous lines of long stitches in light and dark grey wool.Ī dragon head rests on the front of each shoulder, outlined in couched silver cord and filled with a web of the same. I added another element of texture to this portion with a bit of wool roving, and a few rows of black, grey, and silver backstitching.Īfter deciding that the grey lockstitch would look very dull against the plain organza, I added a layer of linen and wool over that portion as well before doing the lockstitch. Almost none of this shows in the final design, it’s just there to add some texture behind the sequined dragon wings that will come later. I used a silver sharpie to sketch in a rough idea of where the major design elements needed to go, and started layering the bottom portion with crumpled and pleated fabrics. This gave me a pattern that I could transfer onto the charcoal grey silk organza that forms the base of the embroidery. The line of pins below marks where an area of smocking will sit below the embroidery. The dragon head sits on the bodice front, while the rest of the design falls on the sleeve-capes. I used a piece of scrap linen to trace out were the embroidery needed to go. The major embroidery isn’t done directly on the garment, but embroidered on organza in a hoop, then appliquéd on with a bit more embroidery done around the edges to mask the join. My first step was to get the basic shape I would need for the dress embroidery piece. Both form vague, stylized dragon-shapes that wrap from front to back, and there are a lot of elements that evoke dragon skin, scales, wings, or tails. There are two major sections of embroidery one this costume: the shoulders of the dress, and the shoulders of the cape. Where we left off, I had just reached the part of this build that I was most looking forward to: the embroidery.
