WIP: Static dress

Taylor McVay January 30, 2013

20130130-090704.jpg

I am working on a custom dress for one of the designers behind Possible Worlds. The fabric is one of their designs, in a lovely crepe de chine.

Here are some in progress shots. I'm just putting the finishing touches on before meeting this week.

Last night was pure magic! ✨✨✨ I’m in awe of how this community came together to craft a small slow fashion utopia in a former industrial building in Allston, MA. Truly one of my most memorable experiences and an incredible collaborative project! 😊♻️🙌✨🧡Here are some snapshots from the night (until I get the official photos, then prepare for fashion show spam!) ... Thank you again to @zone3 @thistleandbonefloral @beautybykaylahall @lizcollinsmua @briannaalex_ @craftworksomerville @_slow_process_ @makespaceforpractice @shoppeston @nathaliajmag @treehousefarms @hotfootvintage My fab models and to my family, friends, and students for making this night possible 🧡🧡🧡 1 by @briannaalex_ , 2&3 by me, 4&5 by @capturechristanh ) #slowfashion #secondhandfashion #sustainablefashion #slowfashionoctober #runway #bostonfashion

Still putting finishing touches on a few pieces for my show on Saturday (AKA making new pieces 2 days before the show 😅) If you’re in Boston, come check out ‘Future Forecast: A Slow Fashion Exchange’ at @zone3westernave ! It’s free and there will be tons of awesome vendors and a fashion show! (Link in profile) ✨♻️🌿🌼✂️🍻 #slowfashion #slowfashionoctober #sustainablefashion

I love to take a motif or shape and play with it in a variety of different contexts and materials. This little rising sun has found its way onto a couple of pieces in the collection, including this belt. #embroidery #crewelembroidery #slowfashion

Found this lil’ necklace outside of Atlanta GA at a yard sale. I love wooden beads. #secondhandfashion #yardsalefinds #sustainablefashion

Every time I work on a project, it’s clear to me that my creative process often gets most fired up in the 11th hour. Even though I planned out most of the pieces in this collection months ago, the impromptu things I created this month feel even more figured out. I think sometimes this stuff really needs to simmer. This top is made from vintage seersucker and crewel embroidery yarn and it feels like the perfect T-shirt alternative. #embroidery #slowfashion #slowfashionoctober #vintagefabric

Taking a mini vacay to see dear friends @austinbenjaminsq @ktucklalala in Georgia. We made a day trip to Paradise Garden and it was really something. Seeing massive works of art like this, made from found and recycled materials, always inspires me. (More pics in my stories)

Ive broken many serger needles in the process of making this collection. Thank you little needles! I may have also lost my serger... well see if she can be repaired. A word from the wise: never underestimate 23 oz French terry. #serger #slowfashion

Still many hems and little finishing touches to sew and threads to clip and pressing to occur. I really love the way this collection is shaping up and the naturally dyed palette I created with @craftworksomerville . I can’t wait to share it with you on Oct 13th. New England folks! I hope to see you there (link in profile for more info!)✨#slowfashion #sustainablefashion #bostondesigner #naturaldyeing #organic

In this forthcoming collection, I’ve been experimenting with techniques that transform simple textiles by using waste. This skirt, for example, featured a grid print created using strips of waste fabric from another design. You can see the finished piece and more at FUTURE FORECAST: A Slow Fashion Exchange at @zone3westernave on October 13th. For more info, visit the link in my profile!➕🧡 #slowfashion #scrapbusting #sustainablefashion #texture
