Merlot Memories” takes inspiration from the Cheviot Cloth Dress featured in Harper’s Bazaar, May 1879. The jacket and overskirt are crafted from soft micro-suede, with black satin gimp trim adding subtle sophistication. The underskirt combines pleated brocade and micro-suede, further accented with gimp and delicate tiny buttons. Chains adorn both the jacket and overskirt, adding a touch of Steampunk flair that ties the entire look together. This piece combines historical inspiration with modern design elements, resulting in a striking, timeless outfit.
