200 hour dress
Can you imagine a 200 hours dress? Here it is, a dress that took no more and no less than 200h to be completed. It started with hand-dip-dying fabrics, having said fabric permanent press pleated by permanent press pleat specialists and ended with constructing the top layer of one skirt from nineseparate permanent press pleat pieces. The process is excruciating, but the final results are breathtaking, don’t you think?
