Thanks for this - I had seen Francesca post that image, and then forgotten about it and now I am reminded again: I crocheted a capelet a few years ago and maybe now is a good time to revive it!.
The capelet captures what I love about fashion; it's not practical, it holds on function but- dang it- it's beautiful and makes me FEEL something about an outfit. It's the extra shirt tied around the waist, the sweater over the shoulders, etc.
I LOVE this! And you were so on the money with your history designation! Queen Victoria actually wore a lace capulet as part of her wedding attire! (You can see her dress here: https://fashionhistory.fitnyc.edu/1840-queen-victorias-wedding-dress/) I'm definitely now scouring Etsy for my own!
You’re just so incredibly creative! I love how you honour the women and traditions in your life, but in your uniquely beautiful way
Thank you, dear Xue 💚〰️

FEEL is the key word💚〰️
PS- I want to know everything about your friend Gigi. She is stunning and her style stops me in my tracks.
Follow her! She is an explosion of creativity
I so love your vibe and creativity.

Love your creativity! I will check vintage store for lace table cloth. Let's see how I can make this work for me and my minimalistic style
Looking forward to see your interpretation!
May I ask where your quilted coat is from? It looks so chic and I’ve been looking for a nice looking coat that’s warm and quilted!
