Haute Couture Project

 Hello everybody, hope you're having a lovely day so far.

Before I start, I would like to ask you if you are enjoying the posts? Is there anything you would like to know more about?

As you know I'm a fashio design student and in sewing class the teacher asked us to make a garment inspired by a haute couture brand using techniques that they use and needed to be done by hand. 

Techniques would be: tressê, pleats, ruffles, embroidery etc. 

I chose Dior and thought about making a dress with a cape. I chose a plaid cotton fabric that looks like tweed, I think it matched the brand and what I wanted. 

I made a long skirt with pleats, a blouse and all this can become a dress, in addition to I made a cape using the same fabric, creating this look. I loved it, I intend to recreate soon!



What did you think of this look? Would you wear it too? Tell me!

This post was very short but I promise that the next one will be much bigger. Is there anything related to vintage or historical fashion that you would like to know?

Thank you for reading!
