Dress photoshoot

Here is my dress on my lovely model Chloe. Chloe modelled this dress on the fashion week catwalk for me and looks amazing in it. This pictures are beautiful...no editing needed I might add. The belt I bought from a vintage shop in Darlington really brings the dress together and does the beaded necklace. I also used used these images for my final exhibition and got some really good feed back out the photos and the dress.

Textile Postcards

I have created a range of textile postcards. Here is one example which I am also using for my final show as a promotional postcard. This is of Saltburn pier and I love it. It was created using tape transfer then stitched onto calico on the sewing machine and bits of the image were also stitched into to give the image texture. I then transferred it into Photoshop and adapted the levels and lighting.

Finally finished

After what seems like FOREVER my 1950's Polka dot dress is finally finished and I couldn't be happier or more relieved. However I have gone off polka dots for the time being, sick of seeing them haha.

On the bottom of the dress I have stitched in famous faces from the 1950's; James Dean, Marlon Brando, Marilyn Monroe and my namesake Lauren Bacall. They were created using sticky back plastic transfer. They look fantastic, well I think so, they were just what the dress needed to make it really stand out. Would love to know what people think so feel free to comment.
