Griselda Build Progression

This dress was made entirely of mid-pile stretch velvet. It was flatlined to muslin to give it structural support, and cut and finished in three days. The fabric was delivered late, so this dress was quite the feat! The mannequin does not do it justice in my opinion.

Pope Joan Hat Build Progression

This was the first time I have ever built a hat from scratch. I used hat felt and patterned on a padded out wig block. I created several paper pattern mock-ups before using double buckram as the structure and hat felt to create the shape. I used an old fez as the base and built up from there, adding stiffened trim and other decorative items to give it a rich look.
