I rarely post sketches of things - not really because I'm worried about people "stealing" ideas (isn't that what fashion does anyway?) but really because I sketch so much but only about 1/3 to perhaps only 1/4 of it is actually worth it.
The flats board here was for a boutique collection in California that was supposed to happen some 6 months or more ago that never ended up going anywhere (yet?). I stumbled upon these again recently and was pretty excited about the color choices, contrast fabrics, etc. I had forgotten almost all about it.
I figure by now, it's safe to release these. Otherwise, they're just lost to time.
Other sketches essentially lost to time:
This came into my head in April... then last night only got the swirly things added onto it. I kind of think I need to make it.
Somehow, I had an eveningwear moment happen. I rarely if ever design eveningwear but when I do, it has a definite vintage vibe. The one on the left almost seems 20s-30s and the right one is more 50s.
Early concepting for the "
Mix n Match" dress. The idea is that all these pattern pieces will mix and match unto the same dress foundation to get a sort of build-your-own-dress. I suppose it's not unlike Built By Wendy's fabulous dress book (she has a jacket one too) but the idea helps me produce more than one dress with no changes to the sewing patterns, just adding or subtracting pieces to cut.
I still actually really want this jacket.
Some old stuff from 2010.
Perhaps super early ideas of the
cloud dress happening here? I have a scarf with an ambiguous pattern - is it waves or clouds? And that inspired the pattern on this dress.
I'll perhaps have more sketches to post in the future, but that's all for now! Just a peek.
