Hey everyone! I promised I would share with you my end of the year collection and portfolio. If you follow my illustration blog, I mention that my collection is based on Art Deco. If you're a little unsure of what Art Deco is think of The Great Gatsby, flapper girls, prohibition, and anything to do with the 1920s.
The cover of my portfolio
I used col-erase pencil crayon in lavender and several different prismacolor pencils.
These are the favorites from my portfolio. We were aloud to pick three looks to construct. I only had two looks in the fashion show and decided to pull my third one because I didn't like the way it turned out.
The silver dress is made out of silk satin and was very hard to work
with. I cut the fabric on the bias making it even more difficult to
handle because not only was the fabric slippery but now I had to worry
about the fabric stretching! I
was literally working on this dress the day of the show and finished two hours before the show started! It was really intense. During the show, I was super nervous because I was afraid the chain would be all tangled, but it wasn't. The dresser who dressed my model in my dress did a great job!
This dress took me the longest. I had to bead every single bead by hand and tack them into the seams of the dress. The chain on both gowns were hand tacked as well. With all the chain and beads in tack this dress is actually fairly heavy. When I had to alter the dress to fit my model, I actually had to re-bead and redo nearly the entire back of the dress. Overall, I was really lucky to find my fabric and chain for my dress.
Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed my post! Please message me if you have any questions, I love feedback!
