  Congratulations to @cherrelleskeete for her award of best supporting actress at @thebbtas The Black British Theatre Awards. Her partner @shilohcoke had  this beautiful velvet tailored jacket that needed some alterations. It was a little too big and boxy. I shaped and contoured it flatter her curves. A very famous online fashion brand sent her trousers that were 2 sizes too large which i made alterations too as well.I love how the outfits complimented each other. I always enjoy sewing for Cherelle  Skeete. She has a unique style and  Really loves halter necks. This is the second one I have made for her. Cherelle was torn between 2 ideas. In the end we went for the halterneck top part with wide leg bottom creating this super fabulous jumpsuit. The fabric was a lovely bold green and black print with pink stripes but i didn't want to have the stripes all the way through the outfit so i cut them out of the top part and added an extra stripe on each leg. I really love the new pattern t

  Last year I made this outfit for actress @cherrelleskeete which she wore for  The Black British Theatre Awards @thebbtas #awards #Ceremony. It was a great event and Cherelle looked amazing in her tailed #jumpsuit . 1 year on we have another #jumpsuit for this year's awards ceremony with the addition of some #cowrieShellJewelry .
