Crocheted Lace(much like the Irish style) top attached to a knit(which I am guessing is an old needle technique)bustier

love this one here scott
and also some of the project alabama pieces posted by the sweetest*

great & inspired thread indeed

 

[Scott]

Is that an old needle technique with the knit bustier? Looks similar to the same technique Jurgi did with this sweater

I like Project Alabama but I don't like the 1000 dollar price tag attached just for a few t'shirts. They're based not too far from where I live,actually.

I agree. However, it is a lot of work and I think it's fair. Doing things by hand isn't easy!

 

[Scott]

Yes but what you must realize is that there isn't much of an emphasis on a garment's construction,like seamwork,tailoring and dressmaking-that's even more difficult to do combined with handwork. And people like Jurgi Persoons,who do both,never have that big a price on their pieces unless its a coat or something. Basically,its very one-off homespun t's PA are doing(maybe some other pieces)....I can see paying $400 or less for something like that but not in the thousands.
