kITE sTRINGS

In a way this could be my first -reconstruction. The skirt on this dress is from a dress found at a thrift store in Calgary, AB, and the mid-section from a tank top found at another thrift store in Brandon, MB. The black is a poly-spandex knit pressed into a fantastic pleat style. The purple is crinkly and oddly thin, most likely a polyester but just thick enough to be opaque and sturdy.
I wanted a random design on the front. I made triangles and lines out of the lining inside the tank top which was the same type of fabric but in black, and made full, gathered shapes out of a black georgette to place behind the shapes. The smooth movement of the skirt when walking makes it a great experience to wear.
