Lili

A copy of original archival bridal fashion illustration hand-signed by designer Anna Nieman, dated 2012. Titled "Lili", this charming and romantic ink sketch illustrates an elegant empire-waist bridal gown. The front view features a strapless sweetheart bodice highlighted by delicate, intersecting diagonal pleating or ruching across the bust. Below the high, clean waistline, the smooth fabric cascades into a fluid, sweeping A-line skirt adorned with a beautifully scattered arrangement of dimensional, hand-sculpted fabric blossoms that trail down toward the pooling hemline.

The accompanying "back" view reveals a straight, classic backline meeting at a continuous row of delicate center fabric-covered buttons that stream down the spine, showing how the whimsical floral motif beautifully wraps around to accent the reverse silhouette and train. Perfectly balancing structured simplicity with playful botanical texture, this collectible print elegantly showcases the timeless romance characteristic of Anna Nieman Couture.
