Jasika Nicole Instagram – The gorgeous marbled #SmultronDress by @paradisepatterns that I made at the beginning of the year unfortunately suffered a mishap in the wash and got dyed green in some spots 😖 (pls, no advice on how to get stains out, thx). I’m sure I will wear it as a house dress once the sadness dissipates a little lol. But til then, I wanted to make another version that I could enjoy, untarnished. Since my first version was made with @corefabrics it seemed only fitting that my replacement version feature their fabric too. This viscose with zigzag print is just *chefs kiss*. Perfectly situated in my seasonal palette, it’s soft, it’s flowy (tried to capture it’s movement with the camera) and feels like a breezy silk. In a cruel twist of fate, I didn’t have enough fabric to make the extended length of the dress I wanted to, but instead of abandoning my plan I just amended it. I had a long cut of this off white dupioni silk in my stash and decided to sub it in for the back panel I was missing from my main fabric. It was risky mostly because the white silk is not quite as flowy as the viscose, but I was confident that it could be a design feature- a dress not only print and color blocked, but structure blocked too. It came out better than I thought it would- the change in fabric doesn’t bother me at all, and it’s still a really swishy, sexy dress to wear- it feels like it’s dancing around your body! I can’t wait to wear it at an event with my black high heel clogs! Big fan of this and the others from @paradisepatterns and of course always loving the work that the @closetcorepatterns /@corefabrics team does, too 💕 summer hat by @byvladainsta 😍 | Posted on 25/Jul/2022 05:08:57
