Artwork Description
The dress has a stacked sequin, flat sequin, diamanté and bead encrusted 'Chelsea' hand beaded all-over placement artwork.
Our Chelsea Beading artwork is created by hand from start to finish.
A graphic floral design generated with rows of stacked sequins, cup sequins, delicate diamanté and hand chain stitching. The design was created in London and is then placed and shaped to fit each and every garment silhouette. The base fabric is carefully stretched onto wooden loom frames and the design is meticulously drawn onto the fabric by hand.
Groups of the most talented skilled art-workers then sit at the loom and sew every sequin and stitch by hand to bring this design to life. The speed at which they can complete this process is quite incredible but even so the focus required is immense and the panels still take a huge amount of time to complete. One dress will take several days to hand bead.
The panels are then carefully removed from the looms and perfectly cut into the pattern pieces of each garment for delicately sewing together by expert machinists who know how to handle the soft, heavily beaded fabric.
