Brighton Fashion Week
Leftover Threads Showcase.
After two months of hard work I managed to get a collection together for Brighton Fashion Week. I wanted to create a luxurious collection but also promote all body shapes.
So here we have all sizes from 6 to 18 strutting the catwalk.
I need a holiday now!
Made To Order Summer Dresses
One Pattern Many Styles.
This is the first pattern that I have made from scratch using a 2D pattern cutting method. I used Winifred Aldrich’s book which was pretty easy to use.
Up until now I was either pinning the fabric on a dummy or copying the shape of an existing garment to make a new piece.
After a few toiles, trials and mistakes I got there in the end. I wanted to create a pattern that I could adapt to various styles, ie long/short sleeve, a-line/full skirt and one that would work with different types of fabrics too. Here are four varieties all made from the same basic pattern. I’m pretty pleased.
If you would like one made to your very own measurements, get in touch!
Labour of Love
Dark Fairy Godmother Dress.
I got asked to take part in this years Brighton Fashion Week. How exciting! The only thing I need to come up with now is a 10 piece collection. Eeeek!
I had to start somewhere, so I started with a black corset top that I had lying around. The idea was to turn it into a tutu like dress. Something a dark fairy god mother would wear. I experimented with different techniques in hand embroidery and added lots of mother of peal buttons.
Don’t really want to think about how many hours I spent on this piece, but it was not done in a week, I can tell you that.
Watch this space to see how it all turns out. Still got until June so no pressure, right?
