On this vintage gown, I cut out the entire back section to make a keyhole, then embellished it with a lace edge.
Vintage/Custom Redesign
This is a 1930s slipper satin gown that had sleeves and a very long train. I took off the sleeves and cut down the neckline, retaining the smocking, and custom made a jacket using the original sleeves from the dress and the large train. The hand braided trim was originally on the dress which I then applied to the jacket.
