The inspiration behind this item lies in its majestic colourings; this saved piece of jacquard material has the look of a coat-of-arms embedded into its pattern, adding to its regal sway. Instead of fully lining this bolero style, I have left the metallic pink on the underside of the fabric bare to showcase its glitter underbelly, further adding to the magic. The inside edge is faced with a luxurious velvet, left behind scraps (but not discarded) from another garment I made years ago. It is then finished off with a delicate flower-braided trim in the same jewel colours found in my box of assorted oddments, waiting for their next opportunity to shine. The final touches to this royal story include the addition of a gold mesh edge to the portrait inside and a rosy satin lining in the sleeve for ease of movement—but also simply because it’s beautiful.
