What we’ve been working on:

Kelly:

  • A red carpet catsuit for an author
  • A very special three-piece suit for a very special – and very tall and curvaceous – client!
  • A top-secret B-movie inspired piece for an enthusiastic, fantastic woman!
  • Re-doing an entire cloak project because I’m being a BINCH about it

Jenny:

Mostly Melbas this week – a new pattern from Muna & Broad.  Love its simple lines which allow an excellent fabric to really show off. I’ve been adding patches on the back as well.  Also a few more Yesterday Dresses by Caramiya – all with added ruffles for sleeves.

RUFFLES

Where can we find inspiration in ruffles?  

Kelly:

Getting back in touch with my RUFFLER attachment

Old school ruffle inspo: Folkwear Childhood Dreams


Kelly’s favorite gathering technique

Ruffle vs. flounce

My Creature from the Black Lagoon hat (gill ruffles) OMG, that’s amazing – just the thought is inspiring! 

My favorite movie ruffles: Sadie Frost’s costumes as Lucy, in 1992 Bram Stoker’s Dracula (by costume designer Eiko Ishioka, who won the Academy Award for Costume Design that year)

Jenny: 

I follow the hashtag #RufflesForDays https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/rufflesfordays/ as it’s not too overwhelming but a very inspirational mix of ready-to-wear, couture, and handmade.

Katie Kortman is an endless source of inspiration.  Here’s a link to a great ruffled addition: https://www.instagram.com/p/CcK6-nvvCrg/
