The Top!

I decided not to devoré the top and use a different fabric , so I took a trip up to Totnes and found this great fabric in Stones Fabrics , it was the material i was looking for! An aqua silk.


Cutting out patterns for my top , i have used a thick stretch cotton for under the silk to give the bodice some sturdiness. 

                                                   Started a bit of draping onto the bodice!

                                                    With the jacket on, not looking to bad!
                                                With out the jacket and a bit of a waste band


Jacket Done!

This is the jacket i have made for my outfit , it is made out of devoré silk satan with a print of ice on the inside of a car windscreen as my inspiration for this piece is ice. 


Devoré

I am well on my way with the making of my garment! I spent most of my day yesterday tackling the devoré print for my trousers, what was messy but successful. In total I have printed 12 strips of satin silk fabric, they look fantastic.

Having to over lock all of them wasn't so fantastic.

Donná Forté First Design

This is the design of the garment I am making at the moment, this is a photoshop design.


It is a pair of panelled devoé     trousers that are sewn to the mid thigh and left to flow then pulled in at the ankle. With a pair of coloured knickers underneath.


A cropped devoré jacket with a cute little coloured bodice underneath.




This is the picture that inspired my design. The word that inspired my design is Ice, this pictures looks like luxurious ice!
