the cost of the cut.


I adore beautiful draping details, intricate pleats... i find it so frustrating that the beautiful fabrics and the delicate details i lust for are always only available from niche places at middle to high end price points. but from working in the industry i know why...... if you pay only £20 for a dress - don't expect much more than the basic shape and the cloth! More detail, costs money.

Popped into COS today and pleasantly surprised. From the outset it looks so dull and black but the fabrications and the details are so key to this brand. It's these kinds of details I appreciate most.

But what I really fancy at the moment to satisfy my asymmetric/cropped/draped thirst thing... is this Gemma Degara shoulder shell top $172 @ pixiemarket.com

it's so me, down to a T.
