JAMESSEPHTON: My Last Garment...A Skirt.

This week week, we could make a garment of our choice, inspired by a previous successful garment...

Inspired by the skirt i had done a three weeks previous, I took elements of that, shape of my skirt previous to that and elements of my third dress and created this midi length taffeta pencil skirt with draped net...

I think it looks really modern and fashion forward with historical references...

the V&As Golden age of couture book was a big inspiration too me, aswell as the fabric...I love taffeta, the way it moves, its weight and sheen...It kept the lines clean, used the seaming as a detail and the net to add a bit of character...I like the navy grey and black (styling) together...mix of textures...

I used a deep hem to finish it; put a concealed zip in; used a facing to keep the waistline clean and a vent in the back allowed movement...
