Let's summarize the making of this gown as pleating a gazillion pleats :D Swan gown in white lace, chiffon and jacquard. It is a gown for the Swans and Crows collection, which I am working on this winter and early spring. I like to bring wing and feather elements into the designs. This one was quite a lot of work and a ton of vintage lace of course ^^

New piece for my Crows & Swans collection ^^ This all black two piece gown is made of soft stretch corduroy, combined with crevisco fabric (a knitted 92% viscose 8% elastan blend) and detailing in venice lace. It is hemmed with lots of soft small lace and broad & scalloped vintage laces. The front closes with silver tone metal clips and clasps. The skirt has an elastic waistband ^^

Four of my caped pieces ^^ All made with vintage stretch chiffon ^^  I am hoping to find more of it, I have one supplier, but this store is running out of it and only has specific colours left (no black for instance). Otherwise there are many other lovely chiffons and voiles, so I will live, but there is something particularily awesome about this one, it has the softest most supple feel ever <3 For all about my designs, see: www.somniaromantica.com ^^
