My wedding dress photo shoot!

 

The first ever wedding dress I have made!! This is the photo shoot for my University course portfolio! I wanted to go for a English boho garden party theme when I designed/made the dress, and the same with the photo shoot, hence the flower head band, wild flower bouquet and sea salted hair. 

I did this photo shoot in my garden when it was forecasted horrendous storms and rain so I wasn't feeling to excited for it, I also tried looking around the garden for flowers to go in the bouquet but all the ones I wanted weren't really suitable to hold the stems of. However my fab mum presented me with ^^ that bouquet in the morning which I was soooo happy with it is exactly what I wanted I don't know how she found all those flowers!!

Also, by the morning the weather had brightened up and my friend Anna was round! She has the most perfect hair for this type of theme and the dress fitted her like a glove! The top picture is my absolute favourite and I think that was one of the first shots I had got! As soon as I started snapping away I got instantly excited for it as they all looked absolutely brill (and it helps having such a gorgeous model). I found it so hard nailing the final few down, I should only really have one but I just cant decide between 5!! But I suppose that's better than not having one at all that I like!!

Candice Swanepoel Victoria's Secret After Party!

A quick illustration whilst looking at the Victoria's Secret After Party last year. I have used pencil and water colours, and have changed the hair slightly as I wouldnt of been able to get the hairstyle right as little hair is shown in the picture. I also left the face out as I struggle enough as it is with faces, let alone trying to get it to look like a actual person and just a made up one.

Victoria's Secret 2011 Show.

This is my oldest sketch I did two years ago, whilst watching the 2011 Victoria's secret show Superhero segment with Kanye West performing Stronger. This is the first sketch I did which got me into drawing, and contouring the body using colour!! Apologises for the huge crease down the middle, I found it folded up in a draw!! 

Flamenco inspired bridal collection!

This weeks brief was 30 designs on a Culture. I chose to do 15 on Flamenco dancers (Spanish) and 15 on Africa, however i'm really unhappy with those designs so I dont think ill be putting them up!
I chose to do Flamenco as 'fishtail/mermaid' dresses are very trend at the moment, especially in bridal and I absolutely LOVE them!!!

A - This dress is a laser cut neckline, one sleeved floor length gown. With a white bodice, gradually going into a red skirt, revealing black netting underneath.

B - This is a sleeved dress with knee length tassels from each sleeve. Also with subtle tiering down the skirt.

C - I love this. A fitted sleeved dress with a mesh fishtail skirt and placements of lace on the mesh and up the bodice 'connecting it'. A long train too.

D - A very thin strappy, backless dress with a fitted bodice and tiered skirt in a red and dark red stiff (to hold the ruffles) fabric.

E - Halter neck dress, with a fitted bodice and very full skirt made up of panels that are slightly frayed, squares of fabric.
