The Illustrated Dress














Over the Summer my sister and I decided to join creative forces and create a small collection of hand illustrated garments. We started off using the simple shift shape and are now working on other garments, following the wealth of interest and suggestions we have had. It has been such a confidence boost to hear all of the positive things that people have to say about them. Kate really did add something quite special to the simple shift.
Each garment has been lovingly hand illustrated by Kate MacKay, and constructed by myself. They are displayed in the Godiva showroom and part of me almost doesn't want them to ever go. I find myself getting transfixed by Kate's illustrations.
The images displayed were taken at Cameo Curio, by David Anderson. The beautiful Tammy Le Vasan models her very own MacKay Sister's Illustrated Shift.
