The Wedding Dress
[Image: 200x300xletizia_gown.jpg.pagespeed.ic.Pxg1Y0L9PG.jpg]

The dress, designed by top designer, Mikaal van Oormsbij, designed a dress that appears quite simple but is in reality a pattern-making wonder. He took bespoke natural silk woven with silver thread by a Jorkeian firm and cut it continuously from shoulder to floor, creating a gown that is slim in front and flows out into a large round train (4.5 meters, or nearly 15 feet, long) in the back.

Silver and gold threads are embroidered in shapes of fleur de lys (a symbol of the Blozendlandic Royalty) and fleur de lys flowers, clovers, strawberry tree fruits, and ears of wheat around the sleeves and the base of the dress and train. The high collar is embroidered on both sides. The embroidery is intricate, but used sparingly, so it doesn't overpower the dress.
