The Penelope Red Mai Tai Aqua Halter Top and Mojito Metallic Mini Skirt are a part of The Red Hour Collection, inspired by The Cocktail Hour- classic cocktail parties and vintage fashion from the 60's and 70's
The Mai Tai Aqua Halter Top is handmade from a polished cotton, printed in a random floral design featuring colours of aqua, purple, yellow, green, maroon, pink and cream. This print just shouted out to me, "make me, use me, I will look fabulous!" when I first came across it! This design is one of the most popular Penelope Red designs- the cut is very original and unique, and flattering on many body shapes.
The Mojito Metallic Mini Skirt has been handmade from a vintage metallic polka dot fabric, with contrasting side panels. The vintage metallic fabric has a gold background, and the polka dots have been placed in straight lines. The dots are coloured in magenta, yellow, green, silver, red, and aqua. Blue rik-rak braid has been applied to the seam line where the two contrasting fabrics meet.
