Boden Inspired

I have so many left over pieces of silk that I pulled some of my daughters' favorite Boden shirts out of the closet and started to play with designs.  I made this recently during one of the deep freeze days and my picky daughter actually loved it and modeled without any bribes! 


It is really pretty and soft and I actually bent the long soft pink feathers and placed a few striped hackled feathers on top to give it more visual interest.  I don't think I would have used red and pink until Valentine's Day, but the touch of gorgeous blue and pristine white dupioni made for a rather elegant piece.  Of course it can be embellished with bling of any sort or covered in netting, but I thought for now let's see what you all think.  


I haven't even come up with a name for this pretty yet, but know that it's one of two pieces I will be displaying and selling until I have to take my youngest daughter to Maryland for her surgery. 


I have one ready to go and the price for this is only $25.00.  There are five silk rosettes, gorgeous feathers and tuille on it. I think it would look stunning for Senior Prom or on a newborn.  Just email me with preferences.
