Draping Class 1 Final Project

All of my work are in muslin fabric becoz real fabric here costs a lot. The cheapest are starting at 150 pesos; the ones that are on sale. So bear with my creations that fades along with the color of my dress form.

This is my creative top for 4/2/2011. I finished it on the same day becoz I don't like falling behind. I am often behind.

Thanks to all those who expressed appreciation to my Draping 1 final project. I sure went crazy first before I figured out how my pieces can go together. My LAA did help me on this one!

Those tucks and ruffles did took time to prepare but I sooo love doing them!

I did not compromise this project of mine for time. I could have kept it simple but my heart was telling me to see what I wanted to create.

The Cowl and the Halter

Oppss! I just realized I did not take a photo of the halter. The simple conservative cowl. Did a quick photoshoot for Edteresa. We're shooting the beginning part of her portfolio this spring break at Highline Park! Can't tell you how excited I am for that.

Us, working.

Vege bibimbop for me this Lenten Season.

Hour glass bridals

Ruffled fitted hour glass bridal gown with detachable bolero and tail.

Drawn upon request of bride-to-be Dale Dantes.

Bridal gown inspired by a $10,000 Giorgio Armani halter gown.

You can never have too many colored markers; they're just lovely!

Preparing my tools for the 2 drawing classes. Flats Drawing will begin tomorrow.

Let Fashion Fix begin!!!

Still thinking what would be the name of the clothing line and what signature to affix. Before OLIVEA, I signed my sketches MOJ.

I went to school for photography last winter. This winter, I am enrolled in Fashion Design. This is a much longer commitment...and clearly, more demanding. Before enrolling, I had a sit-down with My LAA. He believes in me and in what I can do; he approved me going to school.

So, here I am, cramming for my designs that are due tomorrow, while the rest of my fellow Cebuanos back home are cramming to have fun. This is for you Sr. Sto. Nino, Pit Senyor!

Done with the first plate! Will Rihanna wear this??? Prof. Collura is a very meticulous prof/designer---but I know she will understand. It's only our first week! And this isn't for the sketching class yet---this is just Intro to Fashion Terms.

Sketching this took me 3 hours---I wonder how long sewing will take me.
