Anna's Wedding Dress Sketch - annasweddingsketch.jpg

This is Anna's original sketch of her ideas for the wedding dress. Her idea consisted of a purple satin strapless dress with a high-low hem and lace trim, with a separate lace overblouse. The challenge then became to translate her ideas into reality.
