A technique inspired by batik paintings and unconventional fabrics whose design would be lost by cutting through the print. You create your curve pieced fabric from which to cut your pattern, based on the prints/fabrics you've chosen. The loose fitting jacket has a dolman sleeve, stand up collar, lower band and elasticized cuffs. It's longer length and angled pockets make for a flattering line.
