Sketchbook. October 2026. 4 min
Three hand drawn studies that became gowns. Ink, watercolour and intent before cloth.
Every 234byKiri gown begins on paper. Before cloth is cut, Tessy draws the silhouette in ink and watercolour, working through proportion, movement and embellishment in full view.
The Majesty Cape Gown appears here in three studies. One sheet holds three views in crimson, teal and gold. A second sheet studies the front in crimson and teal florals with the house back insignia clearly marked. These are working drawings, not decoration. Every fitting refers back to them.
The Blossom Bubble Dress study explores softness with intent. A rounded silhouette in blue, ember and gold florals floats over fine sky hatching. Volume is controlled, hem movement is planned, joy is deliberate.
When you commission a piece, your fitting follows the same path. Conversation, sketch, cloth, fitting, finish. The sketchbook remains open in the atelier for every client to see.
