TRUST THE PROCESS – KOSIBAH BRIDE LIZ OSHO

Liz wanted a gown to change into from the formal part of her wedding ceremony to the wedding Reception. I designed and created a strapless corseted gown in silk Zibeline with a sweetheart neckline. The trumpet silhouette skirt had a puddle train.

The look was completed with a silk Organza cape with a bejewelled collar and chapel train.

Location: USA.

TRUST THE PROCESS – KOSIBAH BRIDE MORIYIKE.

The creation of Kosibah Bride Moriyike’s couture reception gown from sketch to dancing into the reception Hall.

Moriyike wanted a gown she would change into to dance into her wedding Reception. Since her first dress would be white, she wanted some colour in the dress. I designed a gown with a removable overskirt that had enough drama for the occasion, which could then be removed for the more relaxed part at the latter part of the evening and could be worn again for another occasion.

The appliqués on the gown were cut out from a piece of lace fabric and hand sewn in place on the gown.

Please play the video to view the process.
