:o Wow! That looks like a challange to describe!

The material looks like splashes of red paint creating the illusion of flowers. The closeup reminds me of looking for the word "Lilly" in the Lilly Pulitzer material. :wacko:

I really am at a loss for words on how to describe the construction of the skirt. At first I thought it was rows of pintucks, but it doesn't look like it in the closeups......

Hope someone else can help better than I :BAGUSE:

pintucks, netting, decorative cording, OMG!

Is that Red Velvet ribbon I see? And a red taffeta underskirt, right? Are you sure you don't want to wait a little while to list this? It's purrfect for VLV - or are they shopping already?

This is a challenge, allright! Major (or Many) Designer Details might be a start? gawd, Adrianne, it's freakin' fabulous!!!

Maybe my brain will kick in after another cuppa java.

whoa - that has a lot going on! Self Bias strips applied to a circular net and rouleau cording used to form ribbon insertion with loops. Those are some pretty snazzy dressmaker details.
