Russel's Prom Night

I feel so joyful about this.  The smile on her face lets me know she loves what she's wearing. That is such a wonderful feeling for me, too. Soooo beautiful and perfect on her.

First executed gown design for someone. Thank you Lord and I feel grateful.

And.... she won an award ^_^*

Russel's Prom Dress: Fitting

There were just some problems on the buttons and the fit on the upper part since the neck and shoulder part wasn't exactly what I hoped it to be but no design execution is perfect.  At the end of the day we just have to make it work, fix whatever we can.  Thank God, it can.  And yes, it looks pretty and elegant on Russel. :)

Will post pictures again. :)

The shoulder and neck part in the original design.

After few hours, her sister sent me another batch of pictures. She tried it on again. :)

Prom dress project

What I am learning from this project is that, it is important to listen to what the client wants.

I will post once the dress is done. :)

She specifically stated that she wanted the flange skirt.

It is actually a collaboration, she gave me the freedom to do whatever for the top part.

Lesson learned: This style is so popular if a client wants it just put your own twist into it. That is I guess the role of a designer.  It's a win-win situation both for me and the person who'd wear it.

On the otherhand, if were to choose what I wanted for her to wear, it's this:
