Alright, since this blog feels like preparation for a portfolio, or something of the sort, I want to share the projects of which I am most proud.
My senior prom I made my outfit, and my lovely date's, completely out of duct tape for the Stuck at Prom Scholarship Competition.
I did not win, but proving to myself (and many others) that it was possible was a huge accomplishment. In an attempt to utilize the inherent fake and shiny quality to the material I was inspired by Barbie and Ken. This is also why we are posed so stiffly. I don't know if it comes across well, but the intention was there.
Then for my Pattern Making course in college our final assignment was to design and build an accurate "dress" from the 19th century. Mine is based off of the fashions from 1878.
As you can see, the duct-tape dress was inspired by this time period as well, with the slight bustle, emphasized bow, extended bodice, and layers of skirts. I was, however, pretty unaware of the historical context while designing that one. Both of the dresses I designed and patterned completely independently.
