Spectacular - I love the idea of using silk ties for the design. I would buy this from the maker if they had an Etsy shop!! Just love the entire design and execution.

This is so lovely and airy! Can you describe how you did the applique of the tie medallions? It really is such a clever and more delicate use of old ties.

The shape of the sleeves and the jacket...the silk embellishments...the gold thread shimmering through it all. I love this simple elegance.
