The IV36 O’BRIEN Kilt

This kilt has been remade from a wedding dress. A double breasted frock coat created from handwoven silk and lined with a shocking pink was worn twenty years previously had remained unworn since, though the extraordinary quality of the cloth remained much loved. After commissioning a tweed kilt from me initially that has become a wardrobe staple it was decided that this would become a second kilt for evening occasions. The coat is deconstructed and refolded to form the aprons and several pleats, keeping the integrity of the original garment. The remaining kilt length is created by supplementing a silk-wool vintage tweed and several remnant sections of furnishing fabrics sourced from a local supplier.
