This look includes a set of woven lace up pieces and a hand-dyed sky blue mesh top and pants. The woven bustier crop top and mini skirt consist of 4 different upcycled fabrics, including the lining, and lace up at the center back seams where eyelets and modesty panels have been applied. The mesh top is basted and ruched to create a pleated texture, as are the matching pants. The pants are tight fit and feature an exposed inseam that are laced up.
A dress with lots of negative space, this look features another faux-corset, garter inspired pieces, and powermesh pieces. The underwear, skirt extension, and longsleeve top are all made of the same materiality. The bodice connects through the garter and into the skirt with the eyelets. It is made of green and brown found textiles with small plaid and herringbone prints, and features a mesh panel at the side seams. The garment is fastened at the center back over a modesty panel.
This dress combines the same sky blue powermesh, detailed with ruched seams on the skirt and arm-sleeves. The bodice of the dress is made from two shades of purple thrifted fabrics which extend to the hipline and leaves the side seams exposed to be laced up through the eyelets. It is finished with a center back zipper and bias binding around the edges of the skirt.
Underneath the woven set is a top and shorts made of a buttery-colored powermesh. The sleeves and shorts sans underwear feature a ruched detail attained with basting stitches. The accompanying woven top and apron made from different upcycled old clothing introduce playful and sharp shapes. While the top is laced up with cording and zipped up at the center back, the skirt apron features pockets at the side seams and is fastened together in the back.
Featuring a faux-corset, this outfit connects the top and bottom with cording tied through eyelets, leaving the wearer’s upper legs exposed. The corset top is designed to scoop under the bust and stays up with boning reinforced at the center front. It is laced over a modesty panel at the center back seam. Underneath is a bodysuit made of a buttery yellow powermesh that fastens with snaps at the crotch. That same powermesh surfaces some sturdier layers of fabric that make up the pant extensions.
