Go Go Godets

Back in college when we learned to pattern make a godet skirt, my first thought was "who wears this, like seriously?" However, it took me 3 years before I realise that with a bit of creativity and the right fabric combo, godets can be youthful, interesting and cool. Thanks to Georgian-born, Londoner David Koma, for his Spring 2011 RTW. Opening the show to Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, the ballet inspiration has not gone unnoticed - dresses with fitted bodice. tiny waist and tutu-like skirts, godets sprang forth from the seams. How delightful even when the collection progressed from pastel pretty Odette into a darker, scarier Black Swan
