The October 2020 feature: Maxis & Hats
Michelle, editor and publisher of Sewn Magazine, and the voice of That Black Chick, challenged me with using this gorgeous shantung fabric with colors bolder than my typical wardrobe. I selected Butterick 6446, View C. Nothing like a faux wrap dress with pockets!
Shantung is beautiful but it's not the smoothest fabric so I was happy that the pattern calls for a lining of the bodice. The texture of the shantung can be itchy against the skin if you're sensitive like I am. But I do love the body and the drape of shantung. It's a fabric that creates elegance without fault. And with these bold colors, I knew I needed a dramatic hat to accompany it. A statement fabric deserves a statement hat, don't you agree?
Absolutely breathtaking!
