Fashion Show Success!

The fashion show was amazing!  Well back stage at least, it was very exciting and ever so cozy where all of us girls were getting ready.  I can't believe we pulled it off!  Hair and makeup was excellent, thank you Miss Anderson.  All of the models did superb, and I heard great reviews from audience members!
Thank you everyone!

Alexis' Graduation Dress

My good friend Alexis recently asked me if I would be willing to assist her in making a rather complex graduation dress.  I of course excepted her request- how could I refuse such a challenge?!

The dress features hot pink glittery satin, with hot pink lace over the top.  The satin starts with a sweetheart neckline but the lace continues up.  The sleeves are also see through and made of the lace.  The back has a heart shaped cut out with the lace continuing over it.  The difficulty was the zipper, in the side of the dress starting in the armpit.  The heart was also tedious and carefully calculated.

These are unfinished photos of the darling dress.  This is what we do every day in after school textiles class!

























FASHION SHOW TOMORROW!



Fashion Show prep!  My two lovely friends doing
a little pre-runway modeling, and hey playing dress up at lunch time is fun!  Thank you Hunter
and Jasmyn.  I am so excited for tomorrows art
cabaret, it will be the first time this many of my
fashions will be on display in one collective
location.  Thank you every one.




A Prom Complete

My Prom dress is finished!  I am so excited and thrilled for the big night next Saturday.  This photo of the back is deceiving it looks incredibly low, when in fact it isn't but the actual back is concealed by the drape.  The front is perfect, and I am so proud of how this dress turned out.


Fashion Show Tomorrow

Fashion show tomorrow!  To all my models I want to say thank you!  I hope you are all looking forward to this as much as I am.  To my amazing teacher and family,  thanks for being so supportive.

Fashion Show

April 13th is the art cabaret at our school, since I am currently enrolled in AP Studio Art I am to be one of the featured artist!  Since all of my artwork is 3d design, and is clothes, my professor has allowed me to put on a little fashion show.  At this time I have 17 complete outfits compiled- I am working on more.  I am in the process of pulling models, I am using girls from school, and doing fittings.  Hopefully my friend Alexis who did a fabulous job in the previous fashion show, can work her magic again.  I am looking forward to it greatly and can't wait to see all my pieces walk the runway, photos will be posted shortly after, until then I will be working on my prom dress and Alexis's graduation dress. Until then-
xoxo

The Glamour of Prom

Prom is coming, April 1st, so ladies grab a man and boys, try to act like men. When I looked upon Teen Vogue's latest issue behold the prom craze.  Much to my satisfaction there was a whole section dedicated to how dressing in a more vintage style was extremely "in" this prom season.  I was pleased because a) I love everything vintage- especially the 20's which is where the issue was aimed, and b) I predicted this trend.  Yes, as a hopefully future fashion buyer it is savvy to be able to predict trends, and I predicted this one.  For my senior prom I am making my own dress (of course) and it is very vintage inspired, which led to vintage style heels, and the whole vintage look.  I can't wait, should look ravishing!  Bellow is the front of my soon to be prom dress.



















It is made out of a beige/ gold-ish colored satin, I had hoped for a copper color, but had no luck in finding it.  The pattern is my own- like always.  The neckline is draped and on the inside there is a lining of the same satin for a very finished look.
