A DRESS TO LOVE

Dresses are made to become your long time companion. Can you agree? I have got this conservative mentality that dresses are worn only for occasion, but I realized it is NOT. Me and my journey of having a sustainable mind set encourage me more to explore the beauty of sustainable fashion being created by Salome. I am featuring this blog because I wanted to share the experience and privilege I had wearing this amazing dress. This dress and together with all newly designed creations of ungewohnt this year will be presented for at the next Walk the Lake Fashion Show in Richterswil. (Stay tune guys for further announcements) Can you guess which MATERIALS she used? Yes. You are right. Salome used Swiss Tulle and suede fabric having a velvet soft texture that made the dress really airy and comfortable to wear. Ungewohnt started use Tulle one year most of our this years collection and indeed with this fabric, Salome is in process to create a lot of cool costumes both for men and women. Now let us take a look about the THE DRESS CUT. The TOP. With V -West Cut Style gave the dress sophisticated yet chic look. Underneath the top is a blouse designed with wide arm long sleeve. Also because of the lightweight feeling of the Tulle fabric used made the dress flares out dramatically. Can I say I felt like I was wearing a wedding dress??……..:) The SKIRT. This Pencil Style Skirt is a straight and narrow type cut which makes you feel it close and tight to your body. But believe me, the fabric was too soft that I even for a second I forgot I was wearing a skirt. It is because the feeling was like I was wearing a sporty leggings. Underneath the skirt is also the tulle fabric cut longer than suede skirt brought much accent to the whole dress. I believe every single piece in our ungewohnt collection has its own unique design and purpose. All originally came from Salomes inspiration and imagination. I could tell this dress was designed to boost confidence without giving too much effort. Brought indeed happiness and comfort. Lastly and the most important thing about the dress is, it was HANDMADE WITH LOVE and full of expression of creativity and passion. A big hug and Thank you Salome for all the effort and patience for the dress. We both know its all worth it.
