Add sweeping elegance to a garment or accessory with this stylised lady in a Japanese-inspired dress, shown in a flowing gown, high heels and a dramatic wide-brim hat. The figure is framed by swirling shapes, fan-like leaves and soft circular forms, giving the whole piece the feel of a modern fashion illustration stitched in thread. It suits makers who like feminine, artistic designs with real presence rather than small, pretty motifs.
With 13 thread colours and a dense, heavily stitched finish, this design has the kind of coverage that stands up well on stable fabrics and reads clearly from a distance. It would look especially striking on the back of a black denim jacket, the front of a structured tote, a coat panel or a decorative cushion in smooth twill, canvas or linen blends. The teal, gold, cream, pink and orange accents bring warmth and movement, while the black and grey outlines keep the elegant silhouette crisp.
