Lapel change to Lawrence Lewellyn Bowens bespoke jacket.
Originally purchased from Barrington Ayre, Lawrence felt the jacket was too harsh with the black satin lapels and wanted the whole jacket to stay in the print.... which we can all agree is definitely more him!
As well as re-lining a very loved jacket for a lady, I also spotted some moth holes which needed some attention. Using fabric from the inside seam allowance I re- threaded the fabric to fill the moth holes and strengthen the surrounding areas.
