Couture : The Process

I love draping! Pattern making isn't my favorite thing to do...but draping I love! This is one, about 5 yards, piece of fabric (other then the shoulder pieces which are two pieces of fabric). I love creating nothing into something! For school we have to make a 1920's couture dress and this is something like I sketched that I wanted to do. It flows more on the bottom but because I didn't have enough fabric and it's the wrong length of fabric I had to work with what I had. The dress is probably going to be white with white lace covering it. I'm going to add beads and rhinestones to it as well to add some sparkle, of course! I can't wait to make it and see how it looks in the end! It's going to take a while to do but it will be work it in the end. I will keep you in touch with my couture adventures and more! But first here are the draping pictures and my illustrations at the end of this post. 

Tell me what you think in the comments!

The middle dress is the one I'm going to make! 

Menswear Project

Well it's finally done! My menswear jacket is complete and I couldn't be happier. For this project we had to make an outfit for well...for men. It could be inspired by anything, finally no requirements! What a process! I have never made anything for men before but I always thought I would want to expand my market to menswear and womenswear. I really wanted to make this jacket perfect too because my previous things were just okay. Nothing special but nothing amazing. I looked at menswear clothing in stores to see how they put everything together, went and bought a pair of pants only to deconstruct them and take them apart, and piece by piece everything started to fall into place. I really love how it came out and I've been getting nothing but great feedback from everyone which makes me happy to actually believe in myself for once.

         

  The jacket is a modern take on a trench coat. The hood is attachable so if you want to you could take it off and just have a high collar or keep it on. I lined it with camo lining and added a belt to it. I also made jeans to go with them but not classic jeans. More of a chino jean. Chino style but in denim fabric. 

Let me know what you think of the jacket! I can't wait to see it in the fashion show!
