Girl's Christmas Dress

This dress was designed for a 5 year old girl that loved to be sassy. The dress allowed her to express her sassy style while still being age appropriate with fun animal print and deep red satin fabric.





Silk Flowers







Hand-painted/Dyed Fabric

Hand-painted/Dyed Fabric


These two fabrics are silk dupioni. The multi-color striped fabric was hand-painted with silk paint and the purple fabric was dyed with Rit fabric dye.





This is the finished garment that was created with the hand-painted and dyed silk dupioni. This evening dress was created with the idea of classic, chic evening wear with a modern twist.

Fairytale Wedding
Inspiration


Design

When I designed this bridal gown, I was inspired by glamorous, easy-to-wear bridal gowns. I wanted the bride to feel comfortable, but still feel glamorous on her wedding day. The finished design has beaded trim on the neckline and waistline. The halter neckline has a small slit in the bust area to add a little bit of sassiness, but not it does not take away from the silver beaded detail. The skirt is a classic A-line with a chapel length train. The fabric used in this bridal gown is diamond white silk dupioni.

Color

Inspiration



Design

With the Color Collection, I centered my designs around colorful evening wear that is fun and easy to wear. I also tried to incorporate some modernity with the floral print silk organza detail while using classic lines in the evening wear. My aim was to have fun, easy-to-wear evening gowns to add some style to any formal event. The fabrics used wear navy, fuchsia and royal purple silk dupioni, and a floral print silk organza.
