Bring fashion drama to your stitching with this elegant portrait of a woman in side profile, dressed in a lion-inspired gown. The design blends a poised female figure with a lion face and sweeping mane that flows into the skirt and train, creating a look that feels both regal and feline. With long wavy hair, a strapless silhouette and soft earthy shades from cream and beige to brown, grey and black, it suits stitchers who like fashion illustration with a strong, artful edge.
This is the kind of piece that works best when you want the embroidery to be the focus: on the back of a denim jacket, the front of a sweatshirt, a canvas tote or a dressy robe. The 10-colour palette gives the swirls and facial details clear definition, while the dense stitching produces a rich, filled finish rather than a light sketch effect. Because it is a heavily stitched design, it will show to best advantage on stable fabrics that can support the detail and let that dramatic lion-mane train read properly.
