Daughter of Pearl
This corset was made from vintage French silk ribbons, only sewn together at the CF, CB, and sides.
Pearl tassels adorn each velvet ribbon tie on the chiffon robe.
The pearls sewn onto the bra and petticoat are genuine natural pearls sourced in Hawai'i.
The lace used to make the bra is appliquéd onto the side yoke of the petticoat.
Two colors of tulle (blue-beige) are used in skirt portion of the petticoat.
My collection incorporates inspiration from natural pearls and vintage silhouettes and ribbons. My color pallet of pastels was drawn from French vintage silk ribbons that I discovered and worked into my first look, a traditional ribbon corset. I found inspiration in natural pearls of many unique shapes and colors and used these to embellish many of my pieces. The variability of natural pearls makes me appreciate the beauty and diversity in the natural world.
