This is a very unique design, and you will not find another design like it, unless it is from Penelope Red! To see more Tailored Dresses by Penelope Red, in other colours/fabrics take a look at the blog here: http://penelopered.blogspot.com/2010/05/penelope-red-tailored-winter-dresses.html
FEATURES of the Penelope Red Black and Ivory Tailored Wool Dress on etsy include:
- three fabrics used on the body design: a black wool spotted jacquard, a black and white ivory wool check (vintage), and an white ivory silk (vintage).
- A striking design of interesting panel lines to help accentuate your body length, your waist, your shoulders and bust area.
- a very unique sleeve. I designed this sleeve, and I receive comments on this every time I wear my own copy!
- fully interfaced- made the old fashioned way, with trimmed and clipped seams
- fully lined with 100% silk lining, making this entire dress 100% natural fibres.
- invisible zip at back, and black and white buttons on sleeve and at CB.
- split at CB hem
- pleating around hip area.
- hem falls around just below knee
- very limited edition design. ONLY 3 copies were made of this exact style, and no more will be created.
Please note that this dress has a LOT of work involved in the design and construction. There are around 20 pattern pieces, 3 to 4 layers in the dress, and a lot of precision sewing, not to mention the design and fitting. Therefore, the price has been adjusted accordingly.
CUSTOM MADE:
I have made this dress in a US size 6, 8 and 10 only (AU sz 10, 12 and 14 only). The US size 6 has already been sold, however I can adjust the other designs if you fall between sizes. Please contact me to discuss measurements.
