Halfway Done!

Hey everyone! As promised I worked on the pencil skirt and jacket look these past few days. I really was motivated and excited to get these two pieces made so the process went pretty quickly. I choose to make this look in neutral tones and add a pop of color in the accessory that I am going to make to go with it later. The skirt was done in beige with black quilted side panels and the jacket was made black with black quilted pieces. This look ended up being different than the original in that I decided to add a jacket to it and eliminate the original shirt. As always, here are some pics of the finished pieces and outfit.


 I really wanted the jacket to be something eye catching and unique which is why I decided to do an asymmetric zipper and to have the font be longer and come to a point. This jacket turned out exactly how I had imagined it in my head and compliments the body to a T. The skirt is a basic high-waisted, self-faced pencil skirt that highlights a silhouette with the black quilting on the side.

The plan is to get this look and a few more illustrated in marker soon. I have also been sketching new dresses for the line that I hope will make the overall line even more versatile. Once I pick out the ones I like best I will get that illustrated as well and then begin to work on it. I also have some accessories in my mind that hopefully I will be able to get the supplies for and get started on in the next week too. There is so much happening all at once with this collection and within the next couple weeks it should all come together!
