The 1989 dress is the first beaded dress created for the Taylor Swift Eras Tour in February 2024. The dress was inspired by her 1989 album cover, which used seagulls and beach ombré. The dress features 20,000 beads, some of which were thrifted, and the base of the dress was an upcycled tablecloth and silk scrap. The beads were hand dyed in the ombre effect, and then correlating to the colour was added using an embroidery hoop, needle, and thread after the dress was sewn together.
McLaren Dress
The Mclaren Beaded dress made for the Singapore Grand Prix in September of 2024 is inspired by the Formula One team 'Mclaren', whose team colours are orange and blue. The dress again features over 20,000 beads and has a few more elements, including the drivers' initials and their numbers, the team logo and three Formula One cars. Having learnt a lot from the creation of the 1989 dress, the creation process was slightly different, using a tambour board for the beading and making the beaded pattern pieces before sewing them together.
