Well, Monday morning has slid into Monday afternoon. So sorry, I should have had myself a little more together this morning. An early morning appointment had me out of the house before I was able to finish my post.
This past weekend I was in St. Louis and saw the production of The Magic Flute for which Issac Mizrahi designed the costumes and directed the opera. I was able to find lots of info, so I'll do a separate post about the production. Needless to say, it was absolutely delightful and the costumes were fabulous.
I've been doing a little research on pocket inspiration and thought I would share a few ideas with you. Anything that adds a little unexpected twist to a garment is pure delight for me and pockets are the perfect place to add unexpected interest. Like the pleated and molded pocket below.
An unexpected round breast pocket.
Pretty ruffle detail that floats into the pocket.
This is a great pocket. It seems to float in space. A must try. Don't worry, when I do, I'll share the process!!
Vintage garments are always a great source for pocket inspiration.
I love how the zipper has become a decorative detail on this pocket.
The pockets become the focal point on this very simple dress.
Without the arrow heads, the pockets could be lost.
Beautiful tulip design highlighted with bias trim.
The binding forms a bow.
A double row of lips accents this welt pocket.
And finally, such a pretty design from Jeanne Lanvin. Princess line seams are the perfect place to add pockets and show off a design.
Hope your week is off to a great start. I have a lot to share with you this week, so I'll be back soon!!

Thanks Rhonda. Just love the detail featured here. Really injects quality into a garment. :)
ReplyDeleteSome really neat pockets---and I love unusual pockets! Great post!
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda :)
DeleteInspirational indeed!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing some inspiration. I love pockets of all kinds.
ReplyDeleteThese pockets are inspirational for sure! Thanks, Rhonda. I will be using that jean trick with the zips.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the zipper detail. It would be fun to add a buttonhole to the corner and a corresponding button so that when the zipper is unzipped, you can button down the corner.
DeleteAs I scrolled down the post, each pocket was my favorite! Delightful little dressmaker touches.
ReplyDeleteI know you are a master of sleeve options....and now, pockets! Love it!
ReplyDeleteWow, I liked all of these pocket designs!
ReplyDeleteI do, I do!!! Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteI think I share your passion for sculptural design elements. I loved everything on your list - loved the black dress and the Lavin design for my daughters.
