Dimitra Petsa has dressed countless stars in her sheer, soaked-looking designs, created using a clever combo of draping and stitching — but no water.
Each of these one-of-a-kind “wet looks” is sewn entirely by hand, and while they usually take two to three weeks to create, Petsa tells me she had just a few days to complete Hadid’s.
“I brought in my childhood friends — everybody was there, just sewing, sewing, sewing,” she recalls with a laugh. It took me a few minutes to get into the gown; while at first I feared I’d gotten tangled up in its lining, it turns out the piece actually includes built-in leggings, which Petsa stitches to the skirt in select spots to create the illusion of a sopping-wet garment stuck to the skin.Penske Media via Getty ImagesElana FishmanI was also surprised by both dresses’ soft and stretchy fabric — not at all the slick, rubbery feel I was expecting, given their liquid-like appearance in photos.
That stretchiness boasts another benefit, one in keeping with the designer’s body-positive ethos: “If you gain weight, if you lose weight, it still fits,” she says. While Hadid opted for a look that showed off her baby bump, Petsa can use her trademark technique to spotlight whatever a customer’s best assets might be.Doja Cat/YouTubeGetty Images
