This project was purely for fun. I fell in love with the 3D chiffon fabric while shopping for another project and decided I just had to order some! After months of being tucked away in my fabric closet, I had a window of opportunity and decided it was time to do something with it. I had always felt that it would work well in a more formal design. As luck would have it, I was able to find a solid crepe fabric locally that was an absolute perfect match and would be the perfect compliment to it. I knew I was headed toward a layered look to highlight the light and airy feel of the 3D fabric, and after playing around with several ideas, I opted to use it as a peplum for the skirt.

Once I landed on the skirt concept, I decided a bustier would be the perfect top. I actually purchased a strapless/backless bra and constructed my lace around the foundation. It was fun actually! I used some ivory lace remnants and trim I already had..... and made some spaghetti straps from a matching ivory fabric with a fun criss-cross design to finish it off.
You may recognize Gabby....she was my model for a number of the veils I offer on my Etsy shop. She and her horse Casino were so much fun to work with! We had a gorgeous summer night with a yummy sunset for our shoot. It is such a treat to see my designs in person, I can't tell you. I'm so used to seeing them on my dressform or hanging on a rack, that it swells my heart to have them captured this way! Thanks Gabby, Casino and of course, KB Digital Designs for helping me highlight my work in such a unique way!
