Blackmoor Vituperative

My gorgeous and talented wife Susan won the 2005 Simplicity American Sewing Guild Creativity Contest in the category “Most Interesting Wardrobe Concept”.

Susan works in a laboratory analyzing materials for asbestos. The color scheme of her six-piece wardrobe, which ranges from magenta to purple to dark blue on a black field, echoes the dispersion staining colors of Chrysotile, the most common type of asbestos. Embellishment details were inspired by the way Chrysotile fibers look under a microscope.
