Leonel Lirio has designed a dress named “Charmer of the Birds” decorated with birds and blue and orange leaves inspired on the work by the late Dominican artist Cándido Bidó. The headdress, the props and complements were created by Luis Rivas and Egret Dominicana was responsible for the printing of the textiles for the dress.
The fashion designer said that Maribel Peña, of Islander Print, was responsible for hand-painting the apron that Miss Dominican Republic will wear during the Miss Universe 2017 contest.
Lirio said that his atelier staff spent more than 200 hours to assemble the costume.
