Cinched & knotted

Dual Tone Metallics

Spotted!

During Zoe Ona Fall 2013 show, an idea to use New Look 6188 View B to create.

I remembered noticing it for the first time a couple months ago and added the pattern to my ongoing pattern list on pinterest.

At the time, I thought of it as a great basic cropped jacket. You know we never have one when we need it.

Here, the dual color metallic is kind of refreshing right?

Double Peplum skirt

Isn’t this cute?

I luv when pleats are used to create the peplum effect and not gathers, it’s so much neater.

I also luv the idea of wearing a statement skirt for a special occasion instead of always thinking “dress” all the time.

My New Look 6003 is a good place to start.

Ruched and Wrapped

I’m currently working on a wrap skirt.

Currently, as in, cut out on the table, ready to go any day
now.

I’ve been seeing a lot of ruching with the wrap detail, is
it just me?

Cinched and knotted

Hmmm.

I’m intrigued.

I think I’m more fascinated on how they arrived at the knot detail.

Did they attach a perfectly made knot to the center of the gathers?

I haven’t seen this detail before on any dress in retail, gathered to the center, but not knotted.

Very interesting!
