The Penelope Red Black Fuchsia Kimono

Another new style to show to you! The Penelope Red Black Fuchsia Kimono, handmade entirely by me!



It has been created from two seperate fabrics. The main is made form a silk/cotton fabric, which has a slight sheen to it. It has been printed with a lovely floral print in black, pink, green, blue and purple.



The second fabric is a recycled rayon (viscose) fabric, in plain black. I think using these two fabrics togetehr really sets this kimono apart from the rest. The Black shoulders and tie around the waist makes your eyes drawn to the shoulders and waist.



I like to wear Kimono's with a pair of black pants or a black mini skirt, but the choices are endless really.



This is now available in the Penelope Red etsy shop here.



I could imagine this style with some gorgeous pink lipstick, some black heels, and jewellery of your choice.

The Penelope Red Pleated Turtle Neck: A new design!

Last week I finished a new design... The Penelope Red Pleated Turtle Neck. The charcoal grey and black version is available in my Etsy shop now. The fuchsia and black version is now available as well.

This design features a lovely pleated detail on the LHS shoulder, and the pleats extend across the front of the blouse.



You can wear it tucked in or out, with your favourite pair of jeans, pants or a skirt.




The top has 3/4 sleeves, and a very soft roll-over turtle neck. The hem falls to the hip.


Both designs, the grey and black or the fuchsia and black, are one-off's. Each being unique from every other top, as the fabrics are recycled, and I therefore, only had a limited amount to use.




A more casual look for Penelope Red, but I still like the understated panache that the pleats give. They look much better in person- it is very hard to do it justice in the photos!




Take a look at the Penelope Red Etsy shop online, to see the Grey Pleated Turtle Neck, and the Fuchsia Pink and Black version.
