NiniMomo's Miss Crete 2007 2008

From the largest island off the coast of mainland Greece, Crete, home of the Minoans, comes this striking haute-couture goddess in a gown replica from Britain’s designers Marchesa.

Miss Crete is stunning and feminine in her layered, romantic evening gown in a most unusual shimmering two tone organza; a vibrant ruby red coupled with a deep fuchsia imported from Japan.

Gown begins with a simple, clean strapless empire top that has been beaded at empire waist with a delicate band of hand-sewn filigree beadwork in gold and café au lait iridescent seed beads and tiny gold metallic sequins.

Empire waist gives way to a regal and elegant skirt consisting of multiple tiered layers of rich two-tone organza cut in diamond panels throughout, over ten panels!

Each of these diamond shaped panels have been gorgeously edged with hand-painted dainty lace ribbon in gold.

Ribbon border has been encrusted with meticulously hand-sewn beadwork in a mix of gold metallic seed beads, sequins, iridescent café au lait seed beads, burnished gold sequins and seed beads.

In addition, ribbon edging has been studded with dozens upon dozens of genuine Swarovksi crystal rhinestones in a variety of shades including nut brown, gold, champagne, olivine, glacier blue aurora borealis and light amethyst.

Decadent drop earrings, choker and bangle feature genuine Swarovski crystal rhinestones. Earrings of genuine Swarovski crystal bi-cones and rhinestone studs as well as Swarovski pearls.

Shoes studded with genuine Swarovski crystal rhinestones.

Am olive leaf tiara created from antique burnished gold charms have been bedecked with genuine Swarovski crystal rhinestone accents.
