I'm so excited to have finally bought my final fabric for my collection. I thought my choice of a mnochrome colour palette would make this part of the collection really easy, but god was i wrong! During my toile review we decided that in order to make the monochrome work it would have to be bright white and the darkest black i could find, which was sensible but hard to find.
In the end i bought a silk dupion in black and white which has a vintage feel and look to it, which im loving. to make the over skirt of one of my dresses, i found a shimmery jewlled organza which was a lucky discovery in a random side street in Carnaby street. It's perfect though.
I decided on brightly jewel coloured linings to contrast with the black and white outsides of my dresses, which only the wearer will know about. This also fits in with my theme of turning things inside out - The skelton is on the outside and the decorative skin is inside, hidden.
I also found the perfect shoes - the style name is actually "Harriet" and so fate kind of took over - i love it when a plan comes together!
