Yesterday,ย I presented a custom-made project that was partly carried out remotely, with several decisions made ovef the phone and via whatsapp ๐
In today's advent calendar window, I'm sharing a project that is even more amazing and challenging...
We never met with the customer at any point of the process ! All communication happened exclusively through calls and messages
I must say, I was truly impressed by the customer's confidence in my skills ๐
Even though she provided me with every possible and impossible measurement and all the re-checks I requested, it still felt a bit like working in the dark, or with my eyes closed ๐
The customer needed a formal dress for a special occasion, which had to be at least partly black, but with a touch of fantasy or ๐ฅ๐ก๐๐ฎ๐๐ช๐ก๐ฃ๐๐จ๐จ ๐งโโ๏ธ
When creating custom-made clothing at a distance, itโs of course impossible to choose a highly fitted model that would require multiple in-person fittings
We finally settled on a straight-cut dress with a slightly flared hem, made in a very lightweight, bias-cut animal-patterned fabric ๐ฆ
The final touch was a scarf combining both the black fabric and the animal print
Its playful detail was its shape: aย ๐จ๐๐ก๐ข๐๐๐ ๐ ๐, inspired by the traditional Finnish sweet ๐ซ๐ฎ
Despite a few moments of stress, this project was great fun and truly pushed my creative boundaries. The lesson learned (once again) : never say no to a challengeโฆ๐ช you might regret it! ๐
