Due to the method by which the golden bias trim emerges from within the seamline to lay over the adjoining piece of fabric; gaining a symmetrical semblance when seamlines meet requires the correct calculation and incorporation of a hidden standoff, a tricky issue that re-manifests for each and every junction on the cape.
Reinstating an old pair of gloves while expanding into new technology by incorporating EL-wire: electrically charged illuminating cable, that can be brought to various flashing speeds through transformators at each hands end; with the length of the wire draping freely between arm and back under guide of gliding weights.
Taking a free moment as an occasion to properly wash and iron my collection of day-shirts; retracing the same system of seams that build up this most conventional of all garments whilst taking note of the diversity in fiber compositions and the different coloring methods that were used on them; making each of the shirts look regular on its own, yet when piled together showing vast variation of textures and tints, collectively considered under a common label of “black”; which provides me an appealing angle for the 2013 designs; to omit all color and transport this dark notion to its Gothic extremities by creating outfits that are wholly black while in no way bland.
These huge falls combine black and blonde shades of varying-width crin into a 5-layer cut that cadences into a waist-level drop, topped by a foam-feather crown that closes in a circular disk and continues the choice of color with UV reflectant attributes; a wholly construction that finds support on a specially made bonnet-wig.
For hiding and protecting seam allowances on a non-lined garment, the “French seam” method proposes to encapsulate them within a second, hidden, seamline, sewn first with the fabric pieces wrong sides together, before the actual, visible, seam locks them away; an amendable procedure that easily justifies the effort.
