Sketches of the Dress

What would the dress have looked like in 3D?

With the dress properly mounted, it provided a wonderful opportunity to record what it is really like in 3 dimensions. Before taking several photos of the dress on the mannequin (shown in a previous post), Lydia made a pencil sketch. Often line drawings are more revealing than photographs, which can be difficult to "read" with all their colors and textures.
