Best Overall Design and Construction

摘要

Patricia Robison set out to create a bias-cut dress with a fitted bodice and draped skirt, and a soft and stunning coordinating jacket. The dress is assembled from four 45-inch fabric squares; three make the skirt and waist inset pieces, and the fourth square makes the bodice and pocket pieces. The jacket is a single pattern piece, slashed and folded as a basic bog coat, but with unexpected lapels. This traditional jacket design in 16 momme silk crepe is beautifully executed and lined with self-fabric. The dress can be tied and worn in a variety of ways to change the silhouette.
