Fancy Fabrics Challenge 2014

Boat-Neck Dress & Jacket Ensemble

The dress with the matching silk Dupioni jacket with lace sleeves and a peplum. My client has very long arms, so the sleeves were longer than the average length for a woman of her height (5' 8"). The lace sleeves have a scalloped detail at the wrist. Achieving this result was tricky, since my client provided me with barely enough lace fabric and I had to get very creative with the layout. I only had one shot at it, but thankfully, it turned out perfectly, and most importantly, she loved it!

The narrow shawl lapel ends with custom-made ties, also made from the same silk Dupioni as the jacket.

This dress and jacket ensemble was created for one of my client’s attending her son’s wedding. The dress is constructed from silk crepe de chine and the accompanying jacket from silk Dupioni and lace.
