This dress came to be long before it ever came into existence. What I mean by that is long before it was made… due to my excessive use of material, this little tribal piece of fabric was first used on a vegan leather top empire waist dress I made for my final collection when I was back in Uni ;) lol back in 2014. Swipe to see the original 2014 silhouette for this fabric. I’ve had it for over 10 years before I found the perfect silhouette to birth a new life from it .

This time instead of using it as the main subject matter I created this underbust corset-like construction and added some boning to it to stabilize the structure.

The bottom half of the dress is from a silk/satin roll of fabric I had purchased for this Gunna x Bas music video I was hired to costume design for that got killed like a day before the shoot because man’s got locked up. Right?! Crazy. So I was left with a cute lil kill fee and all this excess fabric that as you can see I was not fina let go to waste.
What’s the longest you ever held on to some fabric? lol or is it just me?
