This is a Wedding dress made for the Qatari Lady for her wedding day made of Magenta coloured silk dress heavily embellished with yellow and white metal thread embroidery. The dress is full length with fitted sleeves that taper to the cuff. The skirt flares to the floor. A round neck has a centre front short opening. The dress is embroidered throughout with a bold floral design of rosettes surrounded by meandering foliage. A wide band of densely worked floral embroidery defines the waist, the neckline, hem, cuffs and upper sleeves. All of the embroidery is worked in a chain stitch in yellow and white metal thread and is embellished with metal spangles of two sizes. The dress has been lined with a dark pink habotai fabric. The sleeves are fitted and taper to the cuff. A round neck has a centre front slit opening that extends to just below mid chest. The dress is embroidered throughout with a bold floral design of rosettes amidst branches of foliage. Wide borders of densely worked stylized floral embroidery defines the waist, the front and back bodice, the neckline, front opening, hem, cuffs and upper sleeves. All of the embroidery is worked in a chain stitch in yellow and white metal thread and is embellished with metal spangles of two sizes. The hem, left and right front and back skirt seams, the front and back bodice, and all the embroidered border areas on cuffs, hem, waist, shoulders and upper sleeves are faced with a red plain weave cotton fabric. The embroidery has been worked through the two fabric layers. The front and back left and right seams in the skirt and the bodice darts are machine stitched in a white cotton thread prior to the dress being embroidered. The side seams and underarm seam are stitched after being embroidered and are worked by hand in a finished run and fell seam using purple cotton thread. The dress is lined with a pink plain weave cotton lining that has been incorporated at the side seams and finished at the neck opening. It is likely that the lining is original to the construction of the dress, however, it is also possible that it was added at a later date during structural alterations. The dress has been altered, repaired and conserved in the past. The sleeves have been shortened by approximately 10cm with a tuck just above the cuff. The pink lining fabric appears to have also been altered at the sleeves as a hand-stitched seam suggests that the fabric has been shortened and the excess cut away. The hand stitching thread (purple cotton thread) used for the sleeve alteration corresponds to the thread used to sew the side seams, suggesting that the lining was added at the same time that the alteration was made. Random running stitches that meander through lining appear to attach the lining to the dress fabric, but may also have been worked in areas where the dress fabric was first starting to show structural damage. The thread used in the running stitches correspond with that used to stitch the lining to the side seams and to that used in the sleeve alterations. Conservation laid and couched stitching in a red cotton thread has been worked through the lining fabric to provide support to damaged areas. The red thread has also been used to repair undone stitching in the side seams. The dress has been further lined with a red silk lining.
