The focus of this outfit are the sleeves.
This dress, inspired by Botticelli's painting Primavera and 70’s dresses, combines the lasercut technology and the hand made garments.
The sleeves are completely seamless and are composed by two modules, a male and a female.
All the parts are interlocked together between eachother.
Due to the use of interlocking the size and the pattern is adjustable.
