WA-7 Evening Bolero

Designer
Randi Hillesø

Made in USA of imported fabrics.

Evening Bolero

 

 

 

 

This bolero was inspired by a trip to Spain and the glorious toreadore costumes. Made from plum silk dupionni, it is encrusted with "found objects": a length of 19th century jet beading; a piece of passementerie from a flea market in Nimes, France; a strip of hand made lace with jet beads from an antique shop in Florence, Italy, and 12" long tassels from an estate of a dressmaker in the USA.

The front edges are weighted to stay in place and the garment is fully lined in purple silk charmeuse.

This is a one of a kind garment. Others in a similar style can be produced for a very personal statement of style. For more information on custom garments, either e-mail or call at 920-364-0556.
