Golden Hour
This look was made for a special outdoor, summer, event in wine country. I looked all over for something I wanted to wear and everything I found was not the right fit for me. I took things into my own hands and created my own look. I had made two other pieces with the knit velvet and fell in love with the fabric!
The event was a happy hour event and I thought the coloring of the fabric was perfect. Since the piece was for me, I actually draped and fitted the dress as I went along. I also feel styled the design as I went and came up with a shape and proportion as I was draping the dress.
In the end it turned out perfect for the event!
