The Making Of The Wildflower Print

The Making Of The Wildflower Print

If you’ve been following Zilpah Tart for a while, you might remember seeing a collaboration between Peony n Pearl and I on the Fashfest Runway back in 2016.  Peony n Pearl is a local Canberra Florist run by ladyboss Fioinna Tamin.  For the Fashfest show, Fionna created amazing live flower accessories to match my Skyline Collection. The huge headpiece was a show stopper!

We decided to collaborate again, but this time I wanted to use her beautiful arrangements in the actual fabric print.  When Fionna had some bouquets ready for a wedding, I raced over to her studio and photographed a beautiful Wildflower bouquet which formed the base of the new Wildflower Print. 

I took the photo and played around with different repeats, scales and background colours, and settled on the final design, with a silver to charcoal gradient as the background.  The colours in the print look amazing and the detail in the flowers is incredible.

I absolutely love the outcome of this print. Such gorgeous bright colours to make you stand out. The Wildflower Mini Collection is available online now. Head over to the Shop to check it out!

Teaching Tuesdays 🎓💗

Tuesday nights mean I’m back in the classroom teaching fashion at TAFE for the new semester, so comfort is always high on my priority list.

Last night’s outfit was my Turtle Neck Dress in Blush Feathers, paired with pink statement earrings and my favourite rose gold shoes. I love how easy these dresses are to wear all day, whether I’m teaching, sewing in the studio or heading out afterwards.

💗 My Mid Winter Sale is also on for its final days.

Some of my favourite words to read are… “These Some of my favourite words to read are… “These are my everyday go-to clothes now.” ❤️

When I design a print, I hope it will become one of those pieces you reach for again and again. Beautiful enough to make you feel good, but comfortable, easy to care for, and ready for everyday life.

Thank you, Bianca for such lovely words. Knowing my dresses travelled with you in nothing but a carry-on and became your daily wardrobe makes me so happy.

And… I’m sorry, but I can’t promise to stop creating lovely prints… 😉🌸
It’s back! 💙🩷💚 When Chromatic Current It’s back! 💙🩷💚

When Chromatic Current was first released, it quickly became a favourite. After selling out, I had quite a few people ask if I’d be able to make more…

I’m so pleased to say I managed to source more fabric on my recent Sydney fabric trip!

The Chromatic Current Weekender Dress is now back online, but only in very limited numbers. Once this fabric is gone, I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to find it again.

If you’ve had your eye on this print, now is the perfect time to add it to your wardrobe while it’s available.

🖤 Black Velvet
💜 Purple Velvet

The Wish Jacket is one of those pieces that slips effortlessly over dresses, adding warmth without hiding the print underneath. Soft, comfortable and easy to wear, it’s become a wardrobe favourite for so many of my customers.

And if you’ve been thinking about adding one to your wardrobe, my Mid Winter Sale is currently running, with 25% off using the code MIDWINTER26 (excludes Maple Leaf, $99 dresses and gift cards).

Which would you choose… black or purple? 💜🖤
Reality check… this is what fabric shopping actu Reality check… this is what fabric shopping actually looks like. 😂

A few times a year I drive to Sydney in search of beautiful limited edition fabrics.

After a few hours of hunting, my “designer” look quickly turns into “bag lady pushing an overloaded shopping trolley several blocks back to the car.” 💪🛒

Not exactly glamorous… but it’s one of my favourite parts of running Zilpah Tart.

I found some gorgeous new prints (and a few customer favourites making a comeback), so there are lots of new limited edition dresses to look forward to over the coming months.

Now to unload the car… and start sewing!
