Bring gothic elegance to your Halloween stitching with this Day of the Dead lady portrait, framed by long wavy hair, a floral headband and scattered petals. The sugar skull makeup is the focus here, with decorative face swirls, shaded neck detail and a purple, lavender and pink palette softened by black, white and grey. It suits anyone who wants a more artistic Halloween design rather than something cartoonish, especially for statement pieces with a dramatic, feminine look.
Because it is a dense, heavily stitched design with 7 thread colours, it has a solid, filled-in finish that gives the portrait real presence on fabric. It works especially well on black or other dark cotton, denim jackets, sweatshirt backs, tote bags and costume pieces, where the pale face and floral tones can show up clearly. With the design offered across a broad size range, you can use it as a smaller feature on the front of a top or make it the centrepiece on the back of a jacket.
