Roses are often prized as a symbol of achievement, completion and perfection. They are not just considered as life, harmony, union and happiness but also represent secrecy. In many countries it was customary to hang a rose over secret meetings or gatherings which meant everything that was talked about should be kept confidential.
There are 554 roses on this 24cm garment which are made with 15-18 petals each. Stitching a Swarovski crystal in the centre of each rose enhances its magical appearance.
