Couture Clayden Gown made specially for me!

My friend Marian Clayden was an artist, especially in fabric & fashion. She'd design a fabric, then wait till it arrived from France or Italy to decide what to do with it once it'd been brought into existence. She'd drape it on dress forms/people, saying, "I have to see what it wants to be". Her silks shine with different colors, as shown in these photos of one dress in different light. All of her pieces are couture-level quality with artistic value, that's why they're in museums worldwide.
