(Sorry that this
blog post is being posted two days late, it's been sunny so anything that
involves staying indoors has been shifted to the end of my to do list.)
I've been reading
The Secret Countess by Eva Ibbotson recently, though rereading might be more
accurate, as I have read it quite a few times before. To say that this design
is inspired by the book would be stretching the truth a little bit, it's
actually only really inspired by the book cover, which on my version of the
book, has a butterfly design in gold around the edges of the front cover.
I've used this
butterfly design on this dressing gown, the butterfly motif has been repeated
across the dressing gown at different angles and sizes and in different shades
of gold. The butterfly motif is intended to be printed on the dressing gown
fabric.
The rest of the
dressing gown is fairly simple. It has a plain gold collar and tie and is
mid-calf length. There is a loose ruffling on either side of the dressing gown,
but other than that the shape and style of the dressing gown is simple, relying
on the butterfly pattern for its' decoration.
I hope you liked
this design, it is part of my 'Designs Inspired by Literature' project. For
