A few days ago I was sketching a few designs and decided that I might as well share them on here too. I've only recently started sketching & drawing again, so they definitely aren't perfect, but I thought this would be a good way to track my progress over time.
This one is mainly inspired by Taylor Swifts pink and orange co-ord she wore to the Grammy Awards. I love the deep pleats, in a heavy satin or silk, and sheer panelling on the top half. There is also an interesting mix between traditional evening gown, e.g. long skirt and pearl rimmed high neck, and modern wear, e.g. cropped sleeveless top, deep plunging sheer panelling and co-ord style.
Here I wanted to contrast street style and more traditional 'girly' style. For example the currently popular ripped mum jeans and cropped jumpers, vs the pom pom and knee high socks trend. I like the juxtaposition between the distressed jeans and the more formal sheer shirt in the first sketch. In the second sketch the varying styles are more toned down, the loose fitting boyfriend style jumper with the playful pom poms, furry ears and frilly socks.
I have to start by saying I love 1950's fashion, so much so part of me wishes I was born in the 50's just so I could wear all the pretty, full skirted, butterfly sleeved dresses. I cheated slightly with this one as it was part copied from a photo I found on the internet, but I just couldn't help it. I'm a sucker for bright colours and big patterns, which is reflected perfectly in this floral dress. I am also drawn to the fit of this dress, I love the cinched waist and giant skirt.
Beautiful designs!

DeleteAs someone who can't draw to save her life, I always really appreciate people who can! You've got a real talent and I can only imagine how your skills will develop! My favourite is definitely the 1950s dress - if only your designs could come to life eh?

DeleteWow, these sketches are amazing. I love the first long dress and the 50's dress the most but they are all so detailed. Do you think you'll ever make them IRL? I think they'd look beautiful! X
