Four months ago Kylie started looking at sketches
They showed Kylie first sketches and it looked more like cowgirl vibes
- It was green and had a cowgirl hat

Kylie wanted to do a monochromatic look

Design itself is all done by hand
Take the sketch which is 2D into 3D
- Process involves a lot of handwork and a lot of various different people as well
- Work with amazing seamstresses, pattern cutters, etc. that make these pieces sculpt and fit the body so that it is like a second skin

Used crystal mesh material
- The mesh effect almost just hanging over the body creates super sexy starchy gowns but with these new silhouettes
- Dress is super sexy and allows you to have a glimpse of Kylie’s body
- Neckline is defined by the sinuosity of the embroideries which are made up of crossing rials of crystal mesh and lavender Swarovski
- While going down the body, they will turn into an explosion of ostrich feathers on the bottom of the dress, sleeves, and headpiece

Kylie approves dress and says, “it looks exactly like the sketch to me”
Finishing touches perfected in the morning
- Made the waist tighter
- Tighten everything to shape her body more
