“Amore” is "love" in Italian. This is a wedding dress, worn in a wedding. Therefore, a wedding dress is also part of the celebration of love, thus, I called this fashion illustration, "Amore".

This fashion illustration was drawn using liquid paper, pen ink, and zig markers. I used liquid paper to colour the entire gown, so as to give a little bit of shine, like the intended fabric I want to use for this gown - white satin. For the top of the dress, I used pen ink to draw the patterns. Then, I placed liquid paper on top of that area and use my fingers
to smudge the liquid paper, giving a soft effect to the fabric.

These patterns are to be hand embroidery with chiffon sewed on top with the embroidered satin. Chiffon and satin have contrasting textures, thus, by using them, the gown will seem to have more variety.

The outstanding feature of this artwork will be the embroidery on the bodice, as the rest of the dress is plain white satin. The dress will be made to have a balanced form.

This work symbolizes the day when a girl will look the most beautiful in her life. The embroidery represents the many blessings she will have. I do not think I am successful in conveying this idea.
