The weather is dismal, news unrelenting, flus and colds persist . .and yet. . .
wax print Pierrot dress sz 4-6
As you can probably tell if you’ve looked at my website or blog, I love working with patterns. When a client brought a scarf back from Indonesia with the request that it inspire an outfit, we were off and running.
I gave the scarf to my collaborator, artist Eve Vaterlaus, to come up with some ideas. After some back and forth she painted a motif of roses and apples that the client loved.
Hand-painted cotton blouse with cotton piping and etched bone buttons - cotton, wool and silk skirt
Client likes a coordinated vest for the warm weather in Indonesia rather than a jacket
we designed the blouse in an Asian style to better show off the fabric print and I went against sartorial rules for a women’s garment and fastened the blouse from left to right for the same reason..
The piped edges and facing gave a weight to the garment - I love the minimal back
Still loving and having fun with the wax prints and my new dress form from Andy’s dress forms that fits me perfectly! I now want all the sizes from Andy’s!! They are made by hand in NYC
A Happy Belated Valentines Day to All❣️
Flowers from my darling husband❤️
