Bodies of Art: Never Grow Up

           With a very busy semester with every thing I am working on  I have also been running our schools student organization: Bodies of Art  annual fashion show. This year’s theme was Never Grow Up. I have created 3 to-tos as part of my modern fairy god mothers outfits. Here is my bright pink tulle skirt.

Garment #2

          The second bridal gown is done! I have worked so hard and I am finally seeing my dream come true. For the longest time now I have not been able to see my vision. After completing this garment I feel confident enough to push forward and I can clearly seen where I am going.

Cutting out the Fabrics

Cutting fabric can be a very tedious job. When I cut out my fashion fabrics I like to lay them out on the big worktables and place my pattern pieces together like a puzzle. I try to use the least amount of fabric possible to ensure I will have enough. Here I have placed my pattern pieces according to the pattern on the fabric.

Lace

I        I am in love with lace! When working with such a fine material it is important to pay attention to detail. Making sure to match the thread strokes with the lace strokes to ensure it blends in is key. Here I am working on my sheer shawl for my first garment.

Fabrics

 The next step of my journey is to choose my fabrics. I have gone with all polyester fabrics for my bridal gowns. My fabrics are all creams with pops of white, and pops of pinks. I have also chosen a few decorative laces and patterned fabrics.
