my own designs

i have drawn up some of my own designs for dresses making samples of parts of the dreesses on the pages to show i have looked in to the making of them. i have looked at brides maids dresses aswell but i have decided i want to go down the wedding dress route. i have made a range of larger skale samples including weaves paper making embrodary my own lace and so on using materials such as bubble wrap that isnt normally used in clothes.

Caroline Castigliano

i love carolines dress so she gave me great inspiration. her dresses are very classic dress's using alot of embrodary they look stunning! my idea is to put an artistic twist on them using her style but using materials and objects that wouldnt usually be used in dress's or wedding dress's

here are some examples of her dress's:

invitations

i looked in to different invitations on the internet and in stores to see the type of styles people go for. i went on to make my own using decrotive pieces and fabric i even went on to decorate the envilopes. for my invitation i just used plain card so i thought it would by nice to try out making my own paper this was a long prossess and the final result is still drying i willsoon add pictures when the product is complete. to make the paper my own i added petals to the paper this gave it a home made feel like thought had gone into it.

Flowers

Flowers are a big thing at weddings i have looked at the patterns of them that i can make i have made flowers out of felting and netting, i have minipulated fabrics with flowers on in to a different style by adding embelishment. the artist i have looked at is steven mayers from his work i have taken the use of dryed flowers as his pictures of flowers sort of see through the frowers to see the actual form of the flower.
here are some examples of his work.
