Victorian Floral Print Design for Dress

A dark ground botanical floral engineered for the silhouette of a bodycon dress. The trailing vine composition ivory and gold peony-style blooms cascading diagonally across a deep navy ground is drawn with the tonal depth and botanical detail of Victorian engraving and chintz tradition. The palette of cream, warm gold,  bronze & dark brown on near-black navy reads as luxury eveningwear without ornamentation. This is a print that works because of the ground, not in spite of it.
