I really really like this. It does tie in with your day look but is still totally different in its own way. It's great that you just went with you imagination and went a little wild. Great job!

Another unique design. Love your ideas and it looks so high fashion to me.
I really like the skirt and the leggins. Though it does look like she is stepping on the seam of her skirt... Or is it closed at the bottom?
The top is another beautiful design
I (personally) would not be comfortable with the jacket. But it looks great on your model and it is just an unusual design. Lovely^^

thank you.
yes it is supposed to be some sort of a bubble skirt effect but the leg is kinda weird on the illustration, i see that now.

I love the details in this piece. Once again the flirtiness of the back is to die for (I love that little bow). The look ties in really well with the day look and awesome job using your inspirations!
The skirt is awesome but not something I would be comfortable in. It looks great though. The only part I'm not totally sure about is the sleeve on the shrug. I'm not sure that I like how the assymetry worked out. The concept is great but something is a bit odd to me. I think it might be that the sleeveless side looks like a raglan seam with the sleeve side looks more fitted. As I said I love the concept but I think that it doesn quite have the right balance as illustrated. Once again just my opinion.
Now is the bottom of the skirt almost a bubble skirt? I love the look but I'm a bit unsure of exactly how you invision acheiving the look.
Awesome design!

i really let go of who and when will wear this and just went with my immagination. i did imagine this on a runway so the skirt is suppesed to be some sort of a bubble skirt, which would be achieved with fabric being folded so that the skirt is actually two layers of one piece of fabric (does this make sense? i don't know how to explain it).
it will also cause the skirt to be less bubbly than in my picture, but i think the tulle could gave it that extra volume. maybe tulle in two layers? i'm brainstormig again
the bolero i have no idea how it would be made the main idea is one short sleeve and slight diagonal hem, i think in real life it would have to be more low on the sleeveles side so it covers the shoulder.
i'm actually thinking of making one for myself, so i'm eventually gonna have to dive into technical side of it.
anyways i'm really glad you like it

I understand what you're getting at with the skirt.
I'll have to think on how you would be able to pull off the bolero as described (what can I say I love knitting and I always get excited when you include knits in your designs). Once again I do see what you're going for.

gotta love knitting
if you have any tips for the construction of my bolero thingy i would be very grateful i'm not really sure how it could be done, but i'm pretty certain i won't be including the cable in the real one. it could be a nice detail though...

The cable would be doable. You would have to pick up stitches from the neck edge to form the collar but you could definately work a cable into it.
