READY FOR THE COLD?

Cowl Scarves

Getting colder now. I wanted a scarf for myself. I wanted it different from what everyone can find in shop or online. I like the outcome and then I make a series of them. On top of that, it is unique pieces....one of a kind. Find them at https://www.etsy.com/shop/FoldedRoses?section_id=12235036

I started this style since last year after my influential vist to Anwerp(Belgium)...a fashion city with Ann Demeulemester, Walter van Beirendonck, Dries Van Noten, etc.

Lace Tulle Rhinestones Feathers

Imogen Lace Tulle Dress, Katie Rhinestone Sash Belt & Arie Hair Piece

Imogen Dress is really gorgeous. I am happy with the result of emphasizing the lace at the neckline and the bigger piece at the back. I contrast the white tulle with light cream lace which I recently bought from Barcelona. The pleats by hand is hard to tame but it creates lovely texture and visually pleasing. The bigger piece lace at the back has make it a challenge for me as it almost limits the dress to be a halter neck cut for the front as the width is quite narrow. By placing it on the tulle, I manage to keep the front design without compromising. Here, I show the dress with and without Katie sash belt, with and without the train for the back.

As for Katie Belt, I have combined rhinestones, resin, silver beads and sequins altogether. The 6 petals flower gives a more elegant and glamourous look. It took me 5 hours to essemble this creation as it requires to be symetrical and I did it with embroidery hoop without the stand support.

Finally, I also design Arie Hairpiece to go with the dress and the sash belt. It was hand embroidered silver hand-embroidered in silver yarns, adorned with crystal rhinestones , small flowers, faux pearls, spray and feather. Felt backing. Attach with hairclips. This style is perfect for the bride looking for something romantic.
