Commission Work
Shanti reached out through a mutual friend with a concept for a garment. She didn’t have a set budget to work with, comunicating that the price wouldnt’ be an issue. She wanted her piece communicate with her personality- sexy, fun, and high functioning. Concerns we had were bust coverage and functionality of each piece, but in the end we managed to overcome those challenges.

The skirt was simple. I adjusted the back waist line ensuring all my seams aligned
The fitting went well, there was a fitting issue around the hip area, after some trouble shooting and giving Shanti all the options, she opted for the gusset on a singular side of the skirt to remedy this.
