Introducing a New Draping Method
The hammered silk skirt was made using a placket behind the measured ruching. Inspired by the trendy cord ruching that I am seeing everywhere but wanting something a little different and more refined, I came up with a new technique that looks especially incredible rendered in hammered silk. The skirt has the measured ruching along the right side of the skirt, lifting the ankle length skirt asymmetrically to show the leg while adding volume and dimension to the skirt.
A fabulous textile like a fine hammered silk displays best when a technique is used to show the drape, pattern and weight in a way that conveys the characteristics of the textile to people other the person wearing the garment. A person wearing the garment will always know how the fabric feels, but someone walking past won't notice the luxe nature of the fabric unless it is communicated through the design and drape. Think of a fine silk chiffon floor length skirt billowing in the breeze as someone walks past you. You'll immediately recognize that the fabric is soft, airy and light as a feather. The same can be done with a controlled drape such as ruching or the measured ruching technique I used in this skirt. The drape captures the light and showcases the buttery softness and texture.
The skirt is kept simple other than the ruching with a desire to keep the skirt effortless. However, the 'simple' nature of the drape doesn't mean it's simple to accomplish. The mannequin needs to be prepared for the individual measurements of the client, meaning I sometimes need to pad the hips to match her individual measurements. After the measured ruching is done at the front right, the fabric needs to be hand draped on the prepared dress form to get the three back waist pleats and the lower left side pleats perfectly coifed. The reason this needs to be done individually for each skirt is because as the measurements change, the entire drape shifts in ways that wouldn't work well in a pattern grading.
After the skirt hand draping is perfected, the skirt is completed with a one inch waist belt and matching silk charmeuse lining. An invisible zipper is installed at the left side, completed with a black hook and eye at the waist belt. Finally, the seams are all finished and the labels are hand sewn into the belt and seams. After the garment is carefully checked for errors, fit and quality, it is carefully wrapped in tissue paper and shipped out to the special client.

I want to give thanks to DR PATRICK for bringing back my ex Wife. No one could have ever made me believe that the letter I’m about to write would actually one day be written. I was the world’s biggest skeptic. I never believed in magic spells or anything like this, but I was told by a reliable source, a very close co-worker, that DR PATRICK is a very dedicated, gifted, and talented person, It was one of the best things I have ever done. My love life was in shambles, I had been through two divorces. I just couldn’t face another divorce, and I wanted to try harder to make our relationship work, but my wife didn’t seem to care and she broke up with me again, I was confused and did not know what to do, rather I got in contact with DR PATRICK. He did a love spell that made my Wife come back to me. We are now very much happy with ourselves. DR PATRICK made her realize how much we love and need each other. This man is for REAL and for good. He can also help you fix your broken relationship. I had my Wife back! It was a big miracle. She suddenly wants to go for marriage counseling and we’re doing very well in our love life.

Exceptional performance should be acknowledged… I lost over 2.3 Cryptocurrency to an Insta blockchain fraud. Almost three weeks after my distressing encounter with the scammers, I decided to explore a referral from someone in one of the discussion forums on Cyber Operations, a team of crypto recovery experts. In less than three days, I received a full refund. Contact CyberOperations.tech for a complimentary recovery of all your stolen bitcoins.
I hired CYBER GENIE Private Investigators in the USA to find my 13-year-old niece who had been missing for 10 days. Our family was desperate and felt we needed to hire a private investigator because we were not satisfied with how her case was being handled by the authorities. Whether she was a runaway or missing, she was a 13yr old girl that needed to be found before falling into the wrong hands. CYBER GENIE INTERCONTINENTAL and his team did what the NYPD couldn’t do and found her in 2 days. He is truly a hero in our eyes. Our sincere gratitude to him and his team.
