Montura is the best known fashion manifestation in Split, Dalmacija and it was fun to be there!
I chose to show a mini collection of three outfits. There will be more when I grow up and start my own label! Yes, soon!
I was inspired by the 30s fashion, slim silhouettes and beach pajamas. For a contemporary touch I added some fabric manipulation. :)
I ended up using only the glazed jersey and the stripey polyester. The jersey was lovely to sew until I had to do the hemming. At that point there was no way to get a proper seam. The needle would stick to the glaze and totally made me crazy. The muslin/satin was so nice to see and feel, but awful to sew from the second minute. I'm getting frustrated only thinking of it. Pure plastic. I ripped the side seams of the long dress three times before getting a presentable shape. Sigh.
The outfits..
In the end everything looked quite nice, fortunately. :)
Wide legged trousers with a small top that mimicked a scarf knotted on the back. I also made the sun hat!
Midi dress and matching clutch. My favorite. I wish I could wear this one..
The lovely long dress. I don't have a proper photo of the back, but you can see it in this photo
And here we are in the defile'. You can see the back of the top and midi dress . :)
It was quite a nice afternoon spent in the beautiful garden of the Ivan Meštrović Gallery in Split. :)
