Close up details of the custom-designed beading and draping of Dr Susan Carland’s gown for the awards ceremony at G’Day USA in LA. 🌸 The specially designed beading was done on French lace made in Caudry, France. Each bead, crystal and sequin was carefully selected and woven together to create an abstract impression of a painting- inspired by the impressionist movement of the 19th century. 🌸 The draping and each pleat was placed by hand and adjusted on Susan during the fitting appointments. 🌸 The hidden flexible corset structure was created for that perfect fit, shaping and support; which also provided the foundation for secure draping and beading placement. 🌸 Cover image- published in @vogueaustralia #aleemyusuf #aleemyusufcouture #susancarland #waleedaly #gooddayusa #melbournecouturedesigner #melbournefashiondesigner
