LBM 3.4: Detail Operation.

In our previous dialogue, we discussed the concept and usage of minimalism and how it affects style. Those chosen to continue to the second stage, I feel, possess understanding of this notion.

Thus for stage two, the tides must turn.

We are moving into the world of details and innovation.

Your challenge is to make two looks, one day and one night. They must be an innovation and/or couture-like concept in fabric manipulation, surface detail or silhouette. They also must bear a uniting theme.

THeme: Batik Couture
This is the day look.i was thinking of doing something of my country indonesia. it has a reputation for it's batik. it is somewhat couture to me because of the tedious waxing and dyeing/painting by hand to make an intricate print.

To make it more interesting, and even more couturish~ the golden yellow stripes are added with gold matt sequins.
it is a short day dress (just above knee) , with drapping of flower like ribbon at the back, as the main focus of the outfit apart from the batik. from the front, the silk is drapped towards the back, creating soft cowls at the sides..

fabric:
batik---- silk (translucent)
obi belt---- silk shantung

This is the night look-[link]
