Pierrot and Moon Pants for Stylo
Array
Let’s take a look at another outfit I designed for Stylo Magazine using the Cotton+Steel Bespoke Double Gauzes! (I blogged about the first outfit in this post).

This fetching ensemble is comprised of a Pierrot Tunic, Moon Pants (a pattern-in-progress…for more information, see this post) and a headband made of double-gauze blossoms. This is a slightly different version from the first pair of Moon Pants in that the cuff is separate and there is a beautiful crescent moon-shaped pocket.

If I had to pick an outfit as my absolute favorite of the four I created for the Stylo spread, it would be this one. Which is funny because it started out being my least favorite, mainly because I couldn’t really get either of the garments to photograph very well when I took the initial flat “still-life” photos. Pierrot is oversized so when you lay it out on a table — let me be honest — it’s not at its best. But as soon you put it on your kids it’s Instant Cute. So when Clementine put them on they really sprung to life and I ended up LOVING it. The double gauze just creates a beautiful drape when the clothing is worn that you can’t capture when it’s on the hanger. And the tiny stars on these prints are really, really gorgeous.

Here’s a closeup of the double gauze ruffle on the Pierrot Tunic — when you cut the double gauze on the bias and stitch with a zig zag along the edges, it creates an amazing texture. After making the ruffle on the tunic, I decided to take more strips and turn them into the flowers for the headband. I’ll try to figure out a way to post more about the headband because it’s pretty cool: I made it with a strip of velcro on top and then put velcro strips on the bottom of each of the flowers so you can move them around and mix and match the colors!

Clementine rocked this outfit. Clearly.

She's wearing this outfit with a sherpa vest from Mini Boden that coincidentally had stars on the lining too. Perfect!
