Dress Design

Oh dear. I missed a day! And I was doing so well. Well, kind of okay, that is. Truth is, I totally blanked on it until I hauled myself up into bed (which is a loft, by the way), and by then I was too exhausted to get back down, put together content, and post something. I'm a little disappointed in myself, but here's to doing better!



This isn't much to offer, but it's a little something I worked on this evening... the dress I'm making for our fashion show here at school!



Heart cutouts, full skirt, capped sleeves, pleating detail at hem and sleeves, and made out of...



...silk! I'm going to hand paint it a peachy-cream color. It's a simple design, I know, but I wanted to make something I could handle with classes and all, and I figure a good portion of the detail will be in the fabric and the coloring. I hope it comes together just as I've envisioned it!

  4. Don't be disappointed, dear. It's nice for starters. Although I do agree that it could be hard to pull off. All you need is self-confidence.
