The silk fabric is folded, draped and pinned to a tailor's dummy.

 The 'petites mains' delicately fold and twist the fabric for the skirt part of the dress to achieve the right effect.

 Details such as these silver buttons and white plumes are added to the design last.

A model is helped into the dress prior to the catwalk show.
