Downton Dreams
This Edwardian-style skirt and jacket draw inspiration from the stunning costumes featured in Downton Abbey, blending vintage elegance with modern flair. Crafted from luxurious satin and batik rayon, sourced from the 2018 SewBatik fashion challenge, the jacket showcases intricate quilting—feathers grace the front, while swirling trees and vines add an organic touch to the back. The fabric challenge accents the collar and cuffs, adding a unique twist. The skirt, fully lined with batik rayon, is entirely reversible, with pleats that offer a versatile, two-in-one look. It’s a timeless piece that combines historical inspiration with contemporary craftsmanship.
