Fashion Showdown!

These recent weeks have been very hectic with school! Last week, Friday was the A&F Fashion Showdown( Abercrombie and Fitch) where people compete for around 5 hours creating outfits from the fabric provided. And after that was over I headed over to the metals studio to work on my geometric necklace!

So basically we are told all the rules and then sent to our respective rooms to begin work on our dresses. We could not start until 11:30 and spent that time brainstorming and sketching. Which basically looks like people throwing fabric around and "trying it on" in an attempt to figure out what we wanted to do.

We decided we wanted to do something structured on top with folds and then some soft draped fabric in contrast to the structured look. The belt is done macrame style and then there are tiny safety pin black ribbon details on the blue skirt.

 

We wanted the back to be delicate and have a sheer lace back. I think that worn you would better see the effect of the lace back. 

The front of the skirt is cut higher than the back. If we were to do it again and had more fabric we would have done a bubble skirt on the bottom instead of the long skirt. 

Absolutely loved this dress. Wouldn't it be perfect for a Cleopatra costume?

Here is a look at some of the other dresses

And here's us with our dress at the reception!
