Enchanted Twilight is inspired by the moment a woodland changes as daylight fades and the forest becomes a little more mysterious and magical and the fairies come alive.

Deep jewel-toned purple forms the base of the design, representing twilight, mystery and elegance. Sweeping antique gold vines and leaves grow across the bodice and sleeves and draw the eye through the dress while reflecting the shapes found in nature.

Among the gold are touches of forest green and amethyst, bringing the woodland inspiration to life, while iridescent crystals represent tiny flashes of light through the trees. The botanical detailing becomes more delicate across the skirt, leaving an expanse of rich purple before returning as a low vine border around the hem.

The back continues the woodland theme, with foliage framing the illusion panel and drawing towards a jewelled floral motif.

Enchanted Twilight is my interpretation of a woodland fairy after dark… elegant, powerful and ethereal, with just a little bit of magic.
