Detail of side-button jacket


Jerilyn Dinsmoor's original designs contain exquisite color combinations, richly textured surfaces, and impeccable construction details.

Each garment contains multiple layers of fabric. After each piece is partially constructed, a one-of-a kind collage design is created with various decorative fabrics. She spends hours manually texturizing the garments using an ordinary sewing machine. Specialty threads are used, including rayon, variegated, and dazzling metallics. Hundreds of yards of thread are used in each creation.

The garment pieces are then shrunk in the washer and dryer to achieve a three-dimensional textured finish - a trademark of Jerilyn's designs. After washing, the garment pieces are re-cut for accuracy and construction is finished. The edges are bound with fabric and embellished with decorative stitching. Finally, creative closures are added, such as hand-made fabric covered buttons, or decorative "frog" closures made of fabric cording. Nearly all of the garments are reversible and machine washable.
