This jacket, skirt and shawl are made from handcrafted felt. The designers said, "This outfit features silk and merino wool felting on a silk georgette base. All work was done by hand on Stradbroke Island, in Samford and Mullumbimby by local artisans. It is physically demanding work. Wool and silk yarn are laid onto a stretched base cloth, immersed in water, and then felted by kneading the yarn into the base cloth until the fibres are matted and holding fast. The silk yarn has a gloss and sits in soft 'smoky' strands on the wool yarn. The resulting cloth is extremely soft, light and warm."
