This reworked wrap skirt is made from a reclaimed evening dress and a mix of chiffon, tulle and lace fabrics from other garments unable to be rescued. The main skirt is purple deluxe satin with stretch. I have added layers of lace, chiffon and tulle in purples and oranges. There is a decorative ribbon and button at the side to hang your charms from and multiple guides for your ties to slip through in order to fit a multitude of sizes. This skirt is designed to fit multiple sizes - small to extra large.

MATERIALS AND EMBELLISHMENTS
The majority of materials used to create my items are upcycled, refashioned or reworked from my collection of preloved garments, unique textiles, vintage linens and found treasures. Used in this item are:
-Stretch satin evening dress
-Beaded mesh
-Purple lace
-Purple tulle
-Orange crochet cotton
-Orange embroidered cotton
-Orange and purple chiffon
Due to the different settings and fidelity in computer monitors and devices, the fabric and colour tones may appear slightly different in person. I do my best to photograph the items as accurately as possible. However variations in time of day, daylight, shade etc. can also affect this. Unfortunately, shipping can incur some wrinkling in the fabrics, and as this garment is made from a variety of mediums it will require care when washing, drying or ironing (pressing).
CARE INSTRUCTIONS Each fabric piece can respond differently to heat so:
- when washing, cold water and hand washing is recommended
- when drying, natural air dry is preferable over tumble drying as some fabrics may shrink
- when ironing, set the iron to a warm rather than hot setting and iron from the reverse side or with a piece of cotton over any delicate fabrics
