The first design I made for the fashion show I just participated in actually fit me! I don’t know how this design fit me since it was made for someone else much smaller than me, but it did. (Must be the stretchy black velvet top!) When we got invited to the PFO ball at school, I was planning on purchasing a dress or wearing this purple sparkly number, but then when I got my dresses back, I gave this design a try. When it fit, I thought why not! It’s a fun and flirty dress–I felt straight out of the 1950s! I am not sure what I will do with all these five dresses, but I have an idea: I could reuse the fabric from the five dresses next year for a whole other line of designs. For sure I want to try designing out again for next year’s fashion show. It was such fun. I might even try to do the actually sewing…We’ll see! Until then, this whole experience of playing fashion designer has been super fun. I’m still waiting for the students to finish editing the pictures from the event. Once they’re published I will for sure share all the designs.
You designed for a fashion show, dearest Ann?! How amazing is that?! If this black and white number you’re modelling is any indication, you’re very talented…that wonderfully flattering boat-neckline and the pretty printed sash are the kinds of details you don’t see every day!! Can’t wait to see the photos from the big event!! XOXO

Thanks Monika. I can’t believe I’m still waiting for the photos. Hmm, I might have to start bribing the kids! It was really fun to design for this show. I think I’ll do it for sure again next year. A x
