After six prototypes slowly adjusting the pattern, I finally got the patterns to reflect the look I was going for. (One of these days I might get used to all the figure changes Mattel has put #Barbie through in the last couple of decades.)
The under dress/lining is a mermaid style dress is in satin with a lace and shiny tulle ruffle.
The over dress is also in satin, but more of a fit and flare style. Lace covers the dress from the strapless neckline to just past the hips. Lace also covers around the hem of the skirt and drapes partway up the skirt.
The lace on the skirt has white sequin interspersed in the design.
Just under the bust, a white satin ribbon encircles the dress with a teal satin ribbon centered over it for a pop of color. The lace on the bust is embellished with beads.
The center back of the dress laces like a corset with a teal organza ribbon.
After all of this, I only hope the bride sees this as the perfect artistic rendition of her own wedding look.
