This is about Betsy.  She said to me on the phone that she wanted a rainbow wedding dress.  I was delighted.  Just my kind of project.  We talked and I got a sense of her personality and then I took the time to make my first three sketches.

Elements of all three dresses became her dress.  We chose her favorite silhouette, neckline and mixed up the embellishments to create the boquet-butterfly-fiesta party dress.  The butterflies that I used as sequins on her dress have also been used by Martha Stuart to make this fab rainbow butterfly cake.
