***PLEASE NOTE** This design is Copyrighted**Well, the gold dress had to go and I had long planned this new dress! I wanted something with flowers - to fit in with the latest trends - and I wanted it to reflect myselft a bit.
Flowers + Dutch girl = Tulip dress.
I also wanted sewn sequin and lilac. With all those ideas in my head, I had designed a few options...but time was passing by and no start on my solo dress yet. So, another fashion trend emerged: wrap dresses and 4-panels. I tried to picture myself in a wrap, but I could not make it work, so I adapted my ideas and design to make a 4 panel dress. I am very happy with the result and I think it will be a fab dress!
Just to make you see what it will be like in real fabrics, here is a little pic of the bodice in the works:

My name is Caroline Vermeulen. I started to make irish dance dresses some years ago when a friend asked me for help with embroidering her dress. Today, I run a small dressmaking business called Lowland Design. I make custom costumes and ready-to-wear dresses. This blog is dedicated to show my work to others. I hope you enjoy.
