Fashion Show Success!!

I just want to say a big thank you to everyone who turned out to the fashion show Saturday night!! It really was an amazing experience, and it was great to see my hard work finally pay off. All of my models were absolutely fantastic!! And totally rocked their outfits!! I couldn't have asked for anything more from my very first fashion show experience :)

This is a great shot of some of my models during their second walk out.

Layered Tule Skirt

This is a cute skirt I made summer 2010. It contains black eyelet with a layer of black tule, layered over orange sateen with a layer of orange tule. The double fullness is gathered onto an elastic so it fits medium/large size.

I also made a longer version with no tule, but the eyelet has a lacy border, and the orange is trimmed with black ribbon.

Wonder Legs

I made these leggings June 2010, after being inspired by the fabric, and thinking about a dark Alice in Wonderland. This pair was bought by a local Fredericton fashion blogger, and were worn to New York Fashion Week Fall 2010, and were 'a big hit'!! I do have enough fabric to make one or two more custom made pairs.

Beginning a Corset

This is a corset I have started for an outfit in my fashion show line-up. Eventually it will be a steel boned 2 layer corset. It will be a rich purple and silver Chinese brocade fabric, and lined with twill. This picture is of the pattern - drafted from a basic bodice. The fabric is the mock-up, made in drill which is a very durable fabric, great to make corsets that will be used for tight lacing. This corset will have lacing up the center back. It is part of the 8th outfit in my line-up.
