Fallen Petals

Over 100 hand cut petals from chiffon burned edges with flame to create a wilted look and sewn by hand.. 🥀

“Fallen Petals” is a black asymmetrical high-low gown that is a poignant interpretation of a key part of the timeless tale of "Beauty and the Beast." The design embodies the delicate balance between beauty and decay, symbolized by the handmade rose petals cascading down the body and skirt of the gown. Each petal represents the fleeting nature of beauty, mirroring the enchanted rose that serves as a central motif in the story. As the petals cascade, they evoke the image of a once-vibrant flower (that sits on the shoulder of this dress) losing its luster, illustrating the inevitable passage of time and the bittersweet aspects of love and sacrifice.

The gown’s dark hue signifies the depth of emotion and the struggles faced by the characters, while the asymmetrical silhouette reflects the complexity of their journey. Together, the dress and the petals serve as a powerful reminder that even in moments of loss, there is beauty to be found, and that love can blossom in the most unexpected places.
