Love and Romance
We’re beyond excited to introduce our Love and Romance dress—featuring an astonishing 1,195,000 stitches! This floral-embroidered masterpiece beautifully merges couture elegance with modern digital embroidery, bringing artistry and craftsmanship together in a truly unique way.
Inspired by the rich symbolism of the Victorian language of flowers, the dress showcases 480 individually embroidered flowers from nine different species—each carrying a special meaning tied to love and romance.
To bring this vision to life, we explored an array of intricate embroidery techniques, pushing the boundaries of digital embroidery on unconventional fabrics. From satin stitch, tatami, and Florentine effects to jagged edges, contour shading, and accordion blending, every detail was meticulously crafted. We also incorporated hand-stitched 3D layered roses, fluffy Sweet Williams, and delicate fringe detailing to add movement and dimension, right down to the flowing tails of our embroidered lovebirds.
This project is a celebration of craftsmanship, storytelling, and the endless possibilities of embroidery.
