Embroidery Ophelia
Ophelia is embroidered on a flow of sustainable fabric, embellished with cotton lace and delicate pin tuck detailing. The result is a romantic dress that’s as dreamy to wear as it is to behold. The embroidery is painstakingly hand-finished in the Arts & Crafts style, and uses classic autumnal shades of sage greens, ochre yellows, and fawns, complemented by silk highlights in a slightly brighter hue. This design is perfect for an embroiderer who wants to take their time and enjoy the stitching process as much as the finished product.
Ophelia is a popular subject for artists, such as Arthur Hughes and J. W. Waterhouse, and has been interpreted in many different ways. She is often shown in her beautiful white dress, as she floats down into the river from her gnarled and rutted branches of a willow tree.
Floral Ophelia
The raw silk upper is adorned with intricate floral patterns and linear parallel lines. The floral and ornate design symbolizes our eternal virgin, Ophelia and the linear parallel lines symbolise Hamlet. Each piece is tirelessly embroidered with zari, dabka, sequins and bugle beads to give it a regal look. This is the perfect dance dress for tango or milongas.
In Shakespeare’s time, it was possible to be killed for dissing a person in public, so Ophelia gave her flowers and herbs to those in her presence as an indirect way of saying what she felt about them. She passed out rosemary (a symbol of mourning and sorrow), pansies (a flower that symbolized thought and remembrance), fennel, columbine, and daisies, all of which have ancient plant-symbolism.
She also gave King Claudius columbine, a flower that symbolizes ingratitude and infidelity. Finally, she gave the queen rue flowers that were commonly used to induce abortions in women. These plants all have deep symbolism for Ophelia, a woman who was manipulated by the men in her life until she drove herself mad.
Lace Ophelia
Ophelia is a timelessly romantic garment, exquisitely crafted with hand-embroidered French lace and multi-colored glass beads. This dazzling piece is sure to bewitch and enchant, and it’s the perfect choice for special occasions. This elegant coat is dry-clean only.
She can thrash and shout, hitting the water with tight white fists like she’s never hit anything in her entire life, but it won’t do much good because the branches of the gnarled willow, rutted and twisted, are too strong. Eventually, a farmer passing by fishing his nets in the stream catches her, and he takes her back to Elsinore castle.
This ophelia lace dress is the epitome of contemporary elegance. It’s made from a solid stretch fabric that hugs the body, with a delicately-patterned lace overlay that drapes loosely over the top. The sleeve and high/low hem are trimmed with an eye-catching lace, and the dress’s feminine shape is highlighted by a stylish v-neckline. The lace is also soft and pleasant to the touch, so this elegant gown will feel as good as it looks.
