My awkward wave at the end of my "line."
Top, skirt: Forever 21
Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell
(I had to wear these shoes for five hours and I wanted to cry by the end of the night and could barely walk without whimpering.)
I had been agonizing over my senior fashion show since I was a freshman. I wanted to find the perfect runway song, and the perfect dress and had all of these ideas that were supposed to blow everyone else out of the water. But I was naive. By the time my senior year rolled around, I was emotionally and mentally done with school. I had put off all of my sewing and was so stressed out that I kept having panic attacks during classes, before bed, or while browsing the internet. I started out with about 8 garments, but only 6 made it to the show because of zipper issues that I was too burned out to fix. Needless to say, I was kind of embarrassed and disappointed but still numb enough that it wasn't too big of deal.
Most of these are on my To-Fix list, because they have potential to be amazing. They were just unfortunately created during a time when I did not care anymore.
This dress was made for a Cotton contest in "Casual wear." I don't consider myself a casual-wear designer, so I just went with my rendition of a fancy ballerina going on a date. It also doubled as my assignment for my Manufacturing class.
This is my messiest dress with an uneven, unhemmed bottom and a boring nude mesh bodice/yoke.
Little Red Dress #3, the project I am currently working on. Nude/Red is one of my favorite color combinations.
Little Red Dress #2, is my favorite skimpy dress. It was the opening garment for FGI: Dallas Career Day, and it placed 3rd. It was my first and only fashion competition and when my dress came out, the crowd gasped. I couldn't see anything beyond the hundreds of heads, so I assumed a model had fallen. I hope they didn't gasp because the model accidentally flashed them.
The last dress to my show. My first experimentation with leather and it didn't go quite so well. After constructing the bodice, I realized I had confused one side of the bodice with the other, so it pulls a bit. I was too disheartened to fix it then. This is by far my favorite. I can't wait to smother it in lace and then wear it out to nowhere.
