The Sylvan Cloak is a centerpiece of my portfolio, commissioned for a fantasy production that required both beauty and durability.

This project highlights my ability to combine hand-sewn embroidery with structured tailoring, using dark magenta and forest green velvet to create a garment that feels pulled from a storybook but performs in the real world.
