Place of origin |
Susie Freeman designed this imaginative evening ensemble. It employs her signature 'pocket knitting' technique. She has enmeshed the glittering decorations within a double layer of fabric. Underlayers of taffeta and nylon net create the fullness of the ankle-length skirt. The creative use of knitted structures and the combination of natural and manmade fibres are typical of Freeman's innovative work.
