Juliet

A copy of original archival bridal fashion illustration hand-signed by designer Anna Nieman, dated 2011. Titled "Juliet", this striking ink sketch displays an architectural, dramatic bridal ballgown envisioned in structured, luxurious Silk Taffeta (noted by the handwritten label "Silk Taffeta"). The front view features a sleek, strapless sweetheart bodice that flawlessly contours the torso down to a deeply dropped, pointed basque waistline. A horizontal row of three oversized, tightly wound fabric roses accents the front waistline.

Below the structural blossoms, the fabric gathers into a magnificent, voluminous high-low balloon or pick-up style skirt that rises gracefully in the front to reveal a dramatic, sweeping under-layer or train. The accompanying back view details a deep, plunging V-backline elegantly punctuated by a center row of classic fabric-covered buttons, showing how the trio of statement roses wraps seamlessly across the lower back silhouette. Perfectly marrying classical Shakespearean romance with bold modern structure, this collectible print beautiful highlights the crisp fabric manipulation unique to Anna Nieman Couture.
