Here are a few photos of an ivory/black striped jacket that I recently made for Amanda Palmer of the Dresden Dolls:



Sorry about the wrinkles ~ I had to bag it up to bring to the show.



In this shot, you can see some of the smaller details like the handmade black silk flower, and abstract spangles which sparkle in the light, but apparently not in bad flourescent lighting without a flash... and my favourite OdPeacock necklace :)


The photos were taken at 3 AM, after going to see a late night production of "The Onion Cellar", so I couldn't resist letting that dreaming/zombified state sneak into at least one of the pictures ;)

The hat is one I made back when I was a teenager ~ still love it after all these years!

Oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh! Verrrrry nice work, dear.

(And dammit, exactly the sort of jacket I've been coveting for years. Oh well, I will eventually have one in a pink/black stripe. Eventually.

I did keep an eye out for you when I was fabric shopping, but didn't find that. I found some oh-so-romantic lace with satin ruffles in pale rose which would make a pretty overskirt though :)

Gods, it's beautiful!! Fabulous job as always. It's amazing with that ruffle back, embroidered skirt, too :D

Can you share your source for blk & wht striped fabric? I can't find any, and I've searched in vain.

I'm getting rather attached to that skirt, I think it's safe for me to say it's my favourite skirt right now. I wore it to the show and 90% of the audience at least was in blue jeans... Oh well, I wore it because I wanted to! :)

This actually isn't black and white, but black and antique ivory stripe (I was actually looking for black and grey at the time). All I could find was a tiny 2 yard piece! Can you believe I was able to figure out a way to make *this* jacket from two yards of 45" fabric?! It seems such a basic, who knows why it's such a challenge to find. There are sources for black/white satin, but it's costume-y quality, so I avoid using it.

With all those scraps, you can do an archeological "dig" through my history of recent projects! If you end up wanting them, there should be some interesting/extravagant ones from making all of the C13 outfits too :)

I've never worked in stripes much myself ~ they really play tricks with the eyes. When I was working on this, I had another project going that was polka dots ~ it made me long for some solid fabric!

The necklace is so cool ~ the large black beads are all differently shaped and very unique. The filigree accents around the flapper are very elegant too...

Reminds me of the costumes in the movie Gigi. The V inteh back is a great detail. It's stunning, and looks similar to the crystal gown on the catalog.

From: [identity profile] kambriel.livejournal.com
Thank you! It is definitely a relative to the Crystal Palace ~ it has the same shaped neckline :) The bustle's a lot shorter in the back and the jacket has an overall tapered effect here and there... The V helps to define the waist. I'm glad you like it!

What a stunning coat. And I absolutely love that hat... Is there any chance that you could make a similar one for me some day?

Sure, I could :) Give me some time and I'll make a new one and figure out the cost.
