Black Lace Net Jacket over Blue Silk Matka Gown
Black Lace Net Jacket over Blue Silk Matka Gown
This gown was designed and made especially to be worn at the 2003 Nobel Prize ceremonies in Stockholm, Sweden. The A-line skirt and princess-style top with sweetheart neckline are made of ice blue silk matka. The jacket is made of embroidered netting accented with jet-black seed beads and sequins, and is edged with a woven seed bead trim. We later made a Chanel-style jacket and street-length skirt of the remaining silk matka, giving the wearer several opportunities for mixing and matching these wardrobe pieces.
