Scarlett's Crimson - Philippa Naylor (awarded second prize!!)
This is an original design by Philippa - it is machine and hand pieced, free motion quilted and decorated with a contrast piping. 100% cotton, sateen and gingham. Silk organza and cotton organdie linings. Philippa took her inspiration from couture ball gowns of the 1950's in terms of the design and fine sewing techniques. I was so thrilled to see this dress and jacket - as when I stayed in Yorkshire in May and did a residential course with Philippa we spent an evening at her home and saw this dress in the making - it looked stunning in pieces and even more spectacular in real life!
