Drapery dress

For my current project in art I plan to make a garment in the style of Madame Alix Gres so I had a bit of fun with this gorgeous material, pins, and a manaquin. See what you think...

New years dress!

As always I left my choice of outfit for my friends new years party untill the very last minute! The only idea I had to go on was a pair of blue suede shoes. river island. £25. So I decided it was a green dress I wanted to wear with these taking no notice of the saying blue and green should never be seen. But unfortuantely I could not find the sort of green dress I had in mind aaaaaanywhere in the sales! That left me with 2 metres of green material, two blue buttons, my sewing machine that I got for christmas and a day to make my first dress. I am very happy to say I surprised myself, take a look at what I achieved :)

Fashion Babylon

'Fashion Babylon' by Imogen Edwards-Jones and anonymous. I have just starting reading this book after I found it whilst rummaging in waterstones through the very limited fashion section. I snapped it up when I discovered it was a book about 6 months in a fashion designer life. The witty comments, and brutal truth of the fashion industry all over it are a bonus. I'm hooked already! I would definately recommend it to anyone interest in fashion, or any girl who likes a juicy gossip!

P.S. I didn't get a lot of time to post over christmas and the new year, but 2011 will be all about working hard for me, so hopefully i will have heaps of fashion project work to post on here for you!
