With reinforced knuckle-busters bolstering an articulation of thirty-eight silver-oiled pieces, these riveted steel-plate gauntlets are set to deliver a magnificent buckle-strapped blast.

Having quality leather bring sturdiness and flexibility, the warmth produced by the body adds suppleness to the construction, allowing it to re-mold itself into a closer shape; a feature, no matter how interesting, one that also needs to be contained in order to prevent that repetitive movements could overstretch the leather.

Visiting the artist at her festival-booth to behold the progress on my latest commission, a made to measure cast sculpture that has its shaping trails rounding the finger still un-soldered, allowing me a final test of the rough white-burnt silver structure, soon ready to enter its elaborate sand and dark-polish finishing process.

In order to accommodate with the eventual visibility of their inner sides, the black blouse’s sleeves and body each have their hemlines stitched off with lining before they are conjoined in the armhole, applying finishing before construction to allow the use of understitchings for flattening the seams with a faultlessly slick effect.

Having purchased this powder-blue satin with a less fabric-consuming conception in mind, finding a way to manage the voluminous design from the available meters was a core concern whilst drawing patterns.
With an ascertained gathering factor creating pieces arrangeable to span full widths of fabric; the lay-out of the sleeve and body parts requires them to be cut singularly from laid open textile as opposed to doing so with the fabric folded in double; adding the extra task of manually selecting left and right sides during cutting, turning the process more prone to errors, but delivering maximum flow without loss of fabric.
