P & B Textiles Design Collaboration

This twist front dress was designed for the modern lady, and for women transitioning into pregnancy.

​

The ink flowers fabric of this dress is part of an upcoming line from P & B Textiles, available in February 2019. It is 100% cotton, and is a beautiful gradation from small buds to bursting exquisite flowers. Through the design process, I wanted to showcase this beautiful textile, therefore I decided to make a twist front sleeveless dress with a contrasting panel on the bottom. The bottom of the dress has a rounded hem, and slits on the side seams. This inverted panel gives the dress more interest, while also demonstrating two of the six color-ways the fabric comes in. 

​

This dress will be displayed at upcoming trade shows in Houston TX and others around the country. The company wants to continue the partnership and collaborate on more designs in the near future.
