Tessuti Awards 2010

Linen and Lace, by Samantha Gehrich

About my Linen and Lace

  • Pattern Used: My own design
  • Fabrics Used: Tessuti Linen and Lace: Poppies White, 100% Rayon
  • Time To Create: 3 day's
  • Dress Influenced By: Spring in the country air. I wanted to create something simple, fresh and playful.
  • Additional Information: I love working with linen, it is one of the most endearing fabrics around and is fabulous for our warmer climate! It is a great fabric to manipulate and even though it sometimes need's a good iron, the creases create a cheeky charm.

i know i'm not supposed to say this about the competition, but that dress is very pretty. I love how you've done a sort of empire waist and then embroider on the lace. Very clever.

I agree with Andy it is a VERY CLEVER style. The real wow factor is the asymmetrical placement of the lace. It would be a pleasure to wear this.
