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.

'Summer luvin' and 'Little bitty pretty one' by Hayden Williams.

I have loved doing Hayden Williams drawings. He is my main inspiration. He has such good imagination on hair, poses, colours and the actual garments! I love them!

Couture Bridal inspired by Roses!

This collection had to be based on Couture Roses this week. As I want to specify as much i can into bridal, I thought this theme would be perfect to do it.

I used the Roses for embellishment, embroidery, detailing, draping and the colour. I tried to step out of my comfort zones (just designing dresses I like) and these photos are the 6/20 of the ones I found the most different. 

A - This dress was inspired by 1950's. Its a short lilac dress with lots of tulle. It has fabric roses embroidered on the bodice, a satin waistband and cascading roses into the skirt.

B - Off the shoulder dress, with a fitted bodice and a rose detailing on the left corner with gathers of the skirt falling away from it.

C - This is my favourite. A vintage feel to it. A boho chic inspired dress. Very thin straps with a slightly gathered skirt with fabric roses all around the hem. Completely backless. 

D - This is a very prom dress inspired one. Very short pink dress, with a big tulle skirt. It has fabric roses on the bodice.

E - Another boho/garden wedding inspired one. Loose cami top to it, with thin straps. A fitted skirt going into a slight fishtail, and forest coloured (blue, green, pink, yellow, purple, orange) roses around each joining.

F - A high/low pink dress, with very exaggerated hem line. Fabric roses cover the inside of the skirt.

Heart breaker inspired by Hayden Williams

This is one of Hayden Williams Illustrations. Its so gorgeous and one of my favourites so I tried to re-work it, but using only watercolours (I think he using crayons, markers and some editing on photoshop by the look of it) I am quite happy with the outcome and this has helped me to be motivated to carry on drawing as I was really really awful at it. But I am slowly improving.
