Extreme Volume


     A bold silhouette top is not easy to wear. You need the right components to complete the look so you don't look overdone. Since the top I made has a lot going on, it was a little tricky to figure out what to wear on the bottom.  Recently, when I went to Anthropolgie, I found a cute pencil skirt that would be the perfect compliment to the top. 

The base of the top is 4 ply silk and the ruffles are made out silk organza.

Made by me! :))

Buttons are from Tender Buttons. The best button store in NYC.

    That top has some serious attitude! Good job! It's so perfect for summer. I completely envy your talent. I tried sewing something today and actually pricked myself until I started bleeding LOL.
