Ice Breaker

Dahlings, it’s summer, and it’s getting hot! So for your next challenge, you’ll be designing outfits for a week in the Alps! It should be be able to function in outside at a ski resort, and inside for the cabin. Remember, you can design outfits not just ski wear. Also, keep in mind function as well as fashion.

I designed an outfit that I would wear should I be going to the Swiss Alps anytime soon. Willemina is my model again.

Sorry for the lack of proper names for the fabrics since I don’t really know much about special fabrics yet. Anyway..

For walking outside where it’s probably windy and bitingly cold, she is wearing a charcoal overcoat with carmine and black details. The outer layer made of a sort-of ribbed, diamond quilted, thermal, waterproof and lightweight, luxurious material which I forgot the name of.. it’s not as bulky as wool and twice as effective in keeping the cold and wind out. It’s lined inside with super soft carmine cashmere. The outer and inner layers are sandwhiching another layer inside made of thinsulate ultra. The short ties along the collar and and waist are made of some durable material. She also has thin black leather gloves lined with thinsulate.

While hanging out inside the log cabins, Willemina should remove her coat. Inside she is wearing a mohair knit dress with 3/4 sleeves. The hemline and cuffs are elastic (like the upper bits of the socks) but made of the same material.. The skirt part is still mohair knit but all bunched and scrunched up with thin lines of elastic underneath.

She’s also wearing red tights and metallic silver wedge boots line with thinsulate inside.

So here it is:
