Hand embroidery has always been a unique decoration of any outfit. Such exquisite work of masters has always been highly valued. Handmade lace decoration is an unconditional quality and a standard of beauty. Modern technologies allow making high-quality lace on a factory scale thanks to the equipment. Such lace will be much cheaper than handmade. But will it retain its value? When it comes to the bride’s wedding dress, there is no place for stamps, a mass-market, and factory equipment. A wedding dress is a special outfit for a particular day and definitely for a special woman. It is essential to keep in mind when deciding on a dress.
Trusting a team of professional craftsmen is always a reliable solution. Each bride should get an individual approach, not only during the fitting and discussion of the future dress model. The master who creates hand embroidery for Cathytelle gowns is a master of fine work and feels the client’s real desires well.
The elegant pattern with expensive thread and precious beads will be designed especially for the future bride’s image. Cathytelle wedding dresses will create a seductive silhouette in the embrace of a unique pattern. The bride will feel the aristocratic spirit of the Renaissance and a sublime sense of her peculiarity.
Wedding dresses with hand embroidery are the theme to which even world-renowned designers return all the time. Megan Markle’s wedding veil was the last bright explosion of emotions, which was decorated with hand embroidery along the entire five-meter length. And when the veil pattern repeats the precious lines on the dress itself, it already becomes a work of art. Such dresses for weddings are created in the workshop of Cathytelle.
Types of hand embroidery
Increasingly, brides choose hand embroidery instead of accessories to decorate the dress. It can be a color pattern of animals and flowers with the addition of rhinestones or shiny thread. The choice of design involves a unique job. It makes no sense to create the same drawings by the hand of the master when each dress is created for a memorable and beautiful personality.
The image can be of different sizes and locations. Neatly outline the bride’s bodice or decorate the airy bottom of a lush skirt. For a short model, you can choose embroidery all over the dress, but in this case, it should be discussed with the master. Hand embroidery is a very exquisite design, but too much can create the too “sweet” effect. An individual approach is the only possible option for sewing such a wedding dress.
Textured embroidery of a wedding gown
The textured type of embroidery includes finishing with silk ribbons and white or colored mouline threads. In this case, it is planned to create a three-dimensional image. In addition to satin and silk ribbons with a glossy sheen, use organza, thick velvet, or corduroy ribbons. Such strips’ width depends on the quality of the fabric of the base and the sketch and varies from 2 mm to 8 centimeters. It is undesirable to run wide ribbons through the base fabric so as not to tear it. Massive trim elements always creat separately and take into account the quality of the base fabric to which they are attached. Heavy flower buds on a thin base can sag or fall ugly, distorting the main pattern. Organza ribbons are used for extra volume in the design and balancing large individual elements. And the practice of stripes of dense velvet fabric will undoubtedly add to the aristocratic status of the dress.
Embroidery with mouline threads creates an accentuated neat textured pattern. This technique is used in the manufacture of Ukrainian national dresses, and according to local tradition, such embroidery bride should prepare herself. The three-dimensional milk “rivers” of the pattern look beautiful on fabrics of natural color. In the primary color of ivory, this lace looks incredible. The use of colored threads should be considered a different emphasis at the beginning of the sketch because of their ugliness.
Combined hand embroidery of a wedding dress
The combination of different materials should be balanced. Ribbons and beads need special attention. It is essential not to overload the overall image and image of the bride. Emphasis on the texture, lines, and placement of the embroidery itself should be perfectly balanced. Combined embroidery is the most difficult for the master, as it requires special attention to detail, each detail of which affects the dress’s overall appearance. It is appropriate to choose no more than three conceptual elements to avoid overloading the image and the overall impression.
Choice of the lace decoration
The type of hand embroidery is chosen based on the density of the main fabric. Fabrics such as satin and silk can lose their conceptual position if you choose a textured embroidery type. For the glossy shine of these fabrics, compositions from nacreous beads will be more suitable. The vertical arrangement of contrasting lace, such as black on a snow-white background (well known as blackwork), will give the bride more height. Embroidery in the waist area makes the bride emphatically slimmer. Golden lace patterns on a milky background of the dress look just fabulous. In any case, handmade lace is a unique charm and sophistication and will be a win-win option for a royal wedding.
