Following on from the Evening Wear(posted 20/11/2012) these two day wear outfits are still in keeping with the Art Nouveau inspiration. I drew on the whiplash line as seen in both skirts but executed using different methods. The granite like fabric used above was gathered by hand before stitching the closed seams onto the lining to stop seam cracking. The high waisted skirt stops just below the bust while the fabric chosen was upholstery to create a wonderful contrast with the granite below and above.
To create that whiplash line the skirts pleats in outfit two are sewn in, creating a more defined drape than before. The three pieces are the top/dress, skirt and belt. Texture stays very important and to use the different fabric options was not always easy but this collection shows it is possible. The soft purple peach skin, light green Georgette and dark brown ostrich PU all come together in a soft organic way.
