What dreams are made of.

Some more concept drawings. I had posted a preliminary concept for the pink standard dress a while ago, but have since fleshed it out a little more. I'm utterly in love with this dress and can't wait to be able to attempt to make it:

 And this one is an idea I had for a smooth costume. That's supposed to be leopard print in case you couldn't tell.

Sparkly gloves to go with the orange dress

I was bored this week and am desperately trying to avoid studying for finals, so I made some stoned gloves to go with my orange dress!

Finished stoning on green standard

I promised these pictures a long time ago and forgot about them until just now. So here are some stoning close ups!

Smooth dress finished

I've been really bad about blogging this one, but the orange dress is done! I may end up stoning it more later on, but for now I'm leaving it so that I can remove the stoned belt and wear it for syllabus.

Well, I started this project a little while ago but haven't really had time to blog about it, so it's already pretty completed. I'm working off of the sketch of the orange dress from the previous post. This is the basic body of the dress, it's going to have a belt in addition and chiffon feather like fringe (I don't know if there is a real term for it, but it looks like feathers from a distance yet it isn't so it's syllabus legal and way less expensive) in the flame pattern. So yes, I will be on fire.

A few sketches

A lot of boredom in class results in dress sketching. Here are a few for your consideration, comments, etc. Let me know what you think!

New project on the way!

I just bought a zipper foot for my machine on Amazon... you know that this means? New project on the way! More details to come soon.
