About my Little Black Dress

• Pattern Used: My own design
• Fabrics Used: silk dupion, silk satin lining, silk organza
• Time To Create: 5 days
• Dress Influenced By: This dress is influenced by the mad excess of the 80's flounce meets Lauren Bacall in "The Big Sleep". A dress for a new generation of Film Noir femmes fatales.
• Additional Information: I would love to travel at night time and in a window seat with a vegetarian meal and if possible not next to a travelling BUSINESS MAN with a passion for collecting electrical insulators. Other than that, I LOVE FASHION, the excess and whimsy and pure creativity and desire that builds a collection and a business. I studied a Bachelor of Fine Arts at UTAS and appreciate the amount of time and energy required to create something of beauty.
