I did a photo shoot
finally
Of all my Designs
from this year
so far
The model is my sister.
I design usually what she
and I want to wear.
so my measurements used for the pattern,
and the size of my dress form
are all her measurements
Ill give a little blurb
about each garment
This is the botanist's dress. I wanted to made the sleeves look like arm rests on a couch. I also wanted to capture pleats in a flower/star shape and in a triangle that falls from the bust point.
This is the "save the amphibians" dress/tunic. This is a piece of a collection, that is supposed to raise awareness to the decreasing population of amphibians, due to water shortages and pollution. I plan on making the whole collection out of rain water fed cotton (because cotton is the most harmful fiber to the earth (in many ways), unless is rain water fed)
This dress has a giant salamander applique crawling down the front with an embroidered face. The dress/tunic is super short and the sleeves are huge and long (just the way I like it). All made out of cotton
p.s I made a green frog hang tag with all instinction information.
It will be on all the garments
from the collection.
Look for it in the pictures!
This collar accessory was a project where I had to take a weird material and make it something wearable. I used the foam that protects dinning tables. While I was experimentally fringing the sides of different shapes I realized it felt and looked like insects. Soft to look at but crinkly to feel. So, with that idea in mind I made pointy flowers and moths. As you can see I made the collar so you can wear it at all different lengths (at front and back)!
This dress is my seashell bustier. Made up of boning, three layered bodice, many seams, and gathered skirt. Sea foam cotton
This is the ribbon dress. I got the idea from a water filter...then I came up with the idea of interchangeable ribbons that flow through button holes to bring life all around the garment, like veins in the body. Fabric: a silk wool blend grosgrain ribbon: rayon
