We print out all the jewelry, and we’re taping earrings, we’re taping bracelets, so that we’re fully placing the accessories as we’re fitting. And it’s always the conversation of “Does this fabric like being worked like this?” We found a quality that loved being worked and molded on the shoulder, that felt sharp and easy at the same time. This is just in a black wool crepe, but we have two or three different crepes, and they would do trials of each one. We have the fabrics narrowed down at this point.
