Woven by the Warmth of the Sun

Medieval Puckered Stripe – An Ivey Abitz fabric for bespoke clothing, as seen in the Summer 2023 Look Book.

A note from the designer – Cynthia Ivey Abitz

I’m going to get gushy. I hope you don’t mind.

There are some weaves that evoke the best memories of summer that they make my eyes wet in the best of ways. This is one of them.

It reminds me of the sweetest summer cottage by the lake or an ancient stone villa overlooking the sea.

It’s as if the warmth of the summer sun is woven straight into it, enveloping me with its hope and brightness.

How can we not have a great day whilst wearing this weave in our favourite Ivey Abitz design?

Ivey Abitz on the Red Carpet Emmys 2018

Emmy Winner Carolyn Hennesy wears Ivey Abitz as she hosts the Red Carpet at the 45th Daytime Emmy Awards, 2018. Carolyn’s gown was made just for her.

Carolyn’s Gown

— One hundred percent washed silk, cross-woven with rust and green threads. The weave changes hues in various lighting to look like liquid or a flowing metal. It is a silk weaving technique that was used during the Regency period for royal court gowns, though this silk is new and was woven this year.

— Handmade pin-tucking adorns the waist and handmade pleating adorns the bottom hem of the gown.

— Antique dog brooch, circa early 1900’s, is nestled inside of a hand sculpted brooch that adorns the tie in back.

— Over sixty hand sculpted floral embellishments adorn the bottom hem. Each was sculpted, then hand sewn onto the gown, taking three weeks to finish.
