The Dress
Designed and made by a extremely talented African dress designer, Noma Khumalo. There are 3 main layers to this Winter dress.
We chose handmade lace for my top layer, which Noma hand appliqued into the stunning design using the natural edging of the lace as a basis for the neckline and bottom edge of the dress. Small V-shapes, zig-zag the bottom of the dress to give it a unique and different design, this is made from the natural edging on the lace. Noma sprinkled an elegant amount of clear shinny sequence on the lace just to give it a tiny bit of sparkle (these can easily be replaced with pearl beads if preferred) There are is a line of handmade buttons which fasten this layer at the back which adds to the design.
This fits over a pure silk (off white in colour) boob tube which connects at the back with a zip. This holds a couple of layers of taffeta to give the dress a little bit of width at the bottom.
Then there is a tight fitting bodice which has a soft inner layer and connects with eye hooks at the back. The train of the dress lifts at the back with the use of ties, this allows you free movement to dance, it also adds such a classic look to the dress at the back. The dress was expensive because of the natural raw materials that we used, pure silk and handmade lace. I am also tall 1.83 meters so the can be shortened or altered if need be.
The sleeves were a little wide on me, but I left it like that as I was unable to dance with them super tight. I would also recommend that Noma does the alterations on the dress. (she is based in Pretoria)
