Magnificent Turquoise Gown
This magnificent gown with a matching jacket showcases the intricacies and complexities of the fabric weave, meticulously designed, cut and sewn to capitalize on the different tie dyed colors and to achieve some sort of symmetry even in the diagonal meeting of the fabric at the tail. Made of hand-woven IKAT SUNGKAT fabric, the gown is flared with a very generous tail while the jacket has a shawl collar and modified bell sleeves. The gown is fully lined and ZIPPER is used for closure. A traditional hand-woven fabric, transformed into a leading edge, vanguard evening gown. A MASTERPIECE!
The fabric is a product of a multi step process called IKAT SUNGKAT. IKAT is a type of weaving where the warp (longitudinal or vertical), weft (latitudinal or lateral) or both are tie-dyed before weaving to create designs on the finished fabric. In the Sungkat weaving process, threads of contrasting colors or even metallic are inserted in between the weft threads creating a design of flowers or diamonds etc. Long, meticulous and painstaking process results in a fabric that is luxurious, dramatic and just simply beautiful! In this case, turquoise threads are used to create the Sungkat design.
To complement the gown are a necklace and a bag made out of peacock colored glass bugle twist or spiral and seed beads carefully handcrafted employing herringbone weave stitch. These complete the haute couture ensemble.
Price includes the fully lined gown, fully lined jacket, necklace, bag and a matching zippered pouch for the accessories.
Price does not include the doll, shoes and props used for the photographs.
