The Original Make a Scene! Reversible African Print Coat Dress Patchwork and Your Choice of Reverse Print – Etsy

Truly brilliant and one of a kind piece of art! This amazing coat dress (which I am completely over the moon over) is a collaborative piece with one of my customers-a very fashion forward Brooklyn girl. Coat includes a full double circle skirt with a fitted bodice and button closure. This coat is completely reversible and can be worn on the blazingly colorful patchwork side or the solid print size which you can pick from my available stock. I am Really proud of this piece as it represents my spirit as an artist. it is made of handcrafted Dutch wax and Ankara prints patchwork fabric and beautiful African wax print fabric. This dress is labor intensive and requires about 2 weeks to complete. Please consult with me regarding the print choices and I will also need your personal measurements to ensure a perfect fit. This is a special piece which will ensure you will be the center of all attention at any event. The patchwork is handmade to order and no dress will look exactly like the one before it so do expect variation but also my commitment to make each piece colorful, vibrant, and beautiful! IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THIS CUSTOM GARMENT SHOP, PLEASE READ SIZING: Most pieces are made custom to your personal measurements. This ensures a reliable fit across the bust and waist as well as allowing for customized lengths. Each garment will be made with built in ease for comfort. Generally, for dresses I will provide an additional 1 inch in the waist and 2 inches in the bust. I will add an additional 2 inches in the waist and 3 inches in the bust for jackets and coats. Skirt waistbands will have an additional half inch. For example, if your measurements are 36 inch bust and 30 inch waist, the finished garment will be 38-39 inches in the bust and 30.5-32 inches in the waist depending on the garment. If you would like additional ease, or room, in the garment, just let me know. Providing correct body measurements is essential to the success of your garment. Taking the measurement in the correct spot is also essential to the fit so please read measurements required carefully and reach out if you have questions. Below is the list of body measurements needed for each garment. (If your garment is sleeveless, you can disregard arm measurements) Feel free to provide any additional details. Bust-measure around the fullest part of your bust, over the breasts. Please include typical bra size, if applicable, for cross reference Waist-measure around the smallest part of the waist or three inches above the belly button. Most garments are high-waisted Overall height-your total measurement in feet and inches. ie: 5’4” Hips-measure around the fullest part of your hips and rear. This is about 9-11 inches below the high waist line, depending on your height Arm length-measure from the shoulder, where a typical shoulder seam would be to the wrist Arm circumference-measure around your upper arm, around the bicep. I will generally add 2-3 inches to the arm measurement for comfort. Length-length from waist to hem or if you provided your height, you can specify ankle length, knee length, floor length, etc. CARE: There is lots of info on the internet about washing African printed textiles but my favorite method is to hand wash in cold water and dry on no heat and finish drying by lying flat to dry. Finish the garment with a hot iron on the steam setting. Many of the textiles can have a firm feel to them. This firmness will soften over time and will disappear when washing. Because I like my prints to be on the sturdy side, I tend to spot clean for as long as possible and only wash when necessary. I have machine washed my garments in cold with no issue but hand washing is the method I tend to recommend. PIECES: Every piece in my shop is something that I have made for a customer and also used to model a style. You are not ordering the piece in the photo; you are ordering the style made in the patchwork example shown. This means that each piece is 100% unique. The patchwork is handmade by me daily and is always receiving new prints while older prints phase out forever. The patchwork shown is an example and while I cannot say it will be exact to the photo, I am always keeping my patchwork fresh, interesting, and compelling. The garment you receive will be just as colorful, vibrant, and stunning but the prints are changing daily. The multi-color patchwork is the most variable but will always include bright, beautiful prints in reds, oranges, yellows, greens, blues, purple, and a smattering of neutrals. The gradient patchwork or single color theme are also variable over time but expect to enjoy the same color effects and same intensity of colors. My handmade African print patchwork is my baby, it’s my LOVE and my pride and I am always endeavoring to make each piece the most eye dazzling, blazing, gorgeous, lush garment under the sun. That all being said, if you are married to the photo, you will likely be disappointed because I will never be able to replicate the exact patterns and arrangement. I personally think, whatever I am working on, is prettier than the picture anyway, in my opinion. I am happy to show current patchwork layouts so if you have a question or want to see the colors, just let me know. The same is true for some of the belts featured; while I try to use the same belts and linings, many of those prints have left earth so I will substitute something similar. If you have any concerns, feel free to ask to see some sample colors. And I think that’s about it…thank you so much for looking and reading!
