01: Delicate
Dec 2023
Blending classic ready-to-wear style and crocheted garments, this first look was initially constructed in CLO 3D, an online pattern manipulation software. The dress has an a-line flare, with ruffles along the hem and lace stitched across the sweetheart neckline. There is also a back zipper and thin straps for structure.
The bolero is constructed with a double crochet stitch for the yoke, and a puff stitch on the sleeves. Made with a blend of mohair and wool, the “Delicate” bolero is comfortable and soft.
