The chain embroidery was carried out by 'Hand and Lock'
We created the pattern for Bann's dress and made up a practice run to check fit. The paper pattern pieces for the embroidered panels were then sent, along with the silk fabric to Hand and Lock to be embellished. This is how they looked on their return.
