This green dress was my mother's bridesmaid dress which she wore at the age of four. It's a full size, pale green dress, decorated with simple Chinese characters and flowers.
I decided to draw with a Chinese brush for some of the studies, using watercolours and Indian Ink. I found it more suited for the style of design for the dress, as they are very basic shapes.
The design on the dress also portray's roles, as the people are dressed for a special occasion (maybe a wedding).
I developed my drawings into hand painted samples, influenced by Nina Vivian Huryn. For the flower sample, I managed to find some floral material that looks similar to the original design.
