Inspiration was abstract lilac and pink viscose used for the collar extending down front, with spacey cream tie dyed stars. Black viscose with star-like flowers in similar pastels gave me the idea to create a 'cosmic' patchwork using black background prints. Scarlet, red, crimson and cream rose illustrations on fine black cotton teamed well with those.
The overall black-red-pink theme was born, and inspired the name of the star Aldebaran which can appear red, and is 40 times larger than our sun. Black and white cotton lace were chosen for highlights between the printed patches, so their designs show up predominantly.
This dress is the second garment made in similar cut style, using short back and front bodice pieces to gather lower patches onto, sleeves incorporated shoulder to high waistline, and adjustable lace up front. First garment was Purple Shimmers, a long robe version. This cutting plan can be adjusted to other sizes for commission.
