Working with Couture Fabrics

I’ve been working on outfits for clients near and far - here is a peak into my studio these first months of 2023 -

a spectacular textured silk and wool from Italy with Fleur de Lys 3-D embellishments -

I made a rosette pin as an embellishment

The complete outfit for an ambassador dinner with Ottoman coat and 4-ply silk splatter lining and scarf

Iridescent silk dress in a color I call Absynthe with puckered details borrowed from the V& A antique costume collection

Tweed jacket with gold trim, silk chiffon blouse and corduroy skirt

Surprise pink silk lining

Lightweight wool challis brought to me by client

blue wool and mohair coat with fabric given to me by above client

Continuing the blue theme- a blue velvet dress I made as a sample

Dark Navy cashmere coat with appliques made for fun as sample - inspiration taken from dear friends I’ve lost and hold near me

This summery chiffon dress came to visit for a touch-up

Anticipating Spring! Fun was had at my Winter sale

Love and good health to all! Keep your heart open

My littlest client and grandniece in her polka-dot Christmas dress with chiffon collar
