Adelaide Eco Designer and Dressmaker @adelaide _eco_eventwear
I am an Adelaide Eco Fashion Designer and Dressmaker who is taking positive steps towards producing Slow Fashion. I hold an Advanced Dip of Fashion Design & Merchandising and a Bachelor of Education.
I offer a made to measure service for those special occasions and complete bridal and evening wear alterations.
I sell my bespoke wear through Instagram and at local markets.
I am passionate and committed to including vintage components in my event wear and sourcing materials locally to limit my carbon footprint. I love meandering around vintage stores and auction houses finding antique lace, vintage fabric, end of rolls, and beaded and embroidered remnants that can be woven into elegant and glamorous bespoke event wear.
My aesthetic is classic elegance and glamour, capturing the essence of the Siren of the Silver Screen. Inspiration for my designs often comes from the vintage pieces purchased, taking into consideration the size, drape, and texture of the fabric or lace. From there, I will start the design process using my dress form, playing with ideas by draping the fabric over it, observing how it sits and cascades. I then complete a design sketch, illustration, trade sketch, and pattern. The production process then begins with a toile and then a final garment.
