Handmade Non Woven Scarf


A SCARF FOR STEPHANIE

Over a month ago, my friend Stephanie got a dress to attend a @James Bond @casino charity event.  She had a fabulous new black dress for this event and wanted a scarf designed for it.


I absolutely love designing a piece when I know who it is for.  I get a real buzz.  I do feel the final outcome reflects the persons personality.

The dress is black lace with a nude lining underneath.  It has simple lines with short cap sleeves. Very classic.  Stephanie certainly has the curves to carry this dress.  The black dress would be worn with a most glamorous shocking pink and nude pink 6 inch spike, with a silvered toe.

I very much wanted to bring out the Lacey look so the scarf/wrap as it is a long one was going to be feathery and translucent.
The pink heels were the inspiration for the colour theme.
