Summer is coming, I promise.

I only de-boxed the stunning Evening Gown Silkstone yesterday, so she got to model a new dress today.  An elegant, dropped waist dress in this striking Liberty of London floral in shades of coral and turquoise blue perfectly matches her coloring.  The dress is off the shoulder with a ruched decolletage.  The skirt is made full with vivid coral tulle.  A brilliant turquoise silk bow belt accents the waist.

This time of year on the Greek island of Crete there is a literal carpet of wildflowers.  Anemones, or “wind flowers” in Greek, come in a variety of brilliant colors with velvety black centers.   The brilliant colors of the embroidered lace and iridescent silks that make up this outfit brought back two weeks that I spent in Crete during wildflower season, the height of which is in February and early March.

This fashion features a full black net skirt embroidered in turquoise and purple.  Four layers of black sparkle tulle fill out the skirt, which has a dropped, black silk waist.  The corset style bodice is made from a vivid turquoise blue silk, with an iridescent purple silk bow belt.

I find that taking a break from commissions every few days can really help me creatively, so I have been playing with my Liberty of London florals.  I had just enough of this beautiful watercolor floral left to make this suit, so there is only one.

The sheath dress has a lavender silk noil skirt and floral bodice.  The cropped jacket, also in silk noil, has a round collar, covered buttons and a silver flower brooch (removable).  The jacket is fully lined in the same Liberty floral.

Today, the iconic Barbie doll turns 55, so I wanted to make a special, feminine suit for the girl with the world’s largest wardrobe.  The classic suit is made of a rose printed cotton by Tilda, imported from the UK.  The jacket has a shawl collar, decorated with a tiny cream enamel heart-shaped padlock brooch with a tiny pink silk ribbon box.  Pearl buttons run down the front of the jacket and a pink silk bow belt finishes it off with a jaunty flourish.  A pleated pink chiffon hat is the perfect completer.
