Description
TOPIC:PART I: Create a sketch of a sketch of any design you would like. Just a sketch. Color is an option. Anything that is appealing to you
my submission for part 1: [link]
PART II: you will be finishing one of your competitors designs. It should show your singular point of view. You can not take off a considerable amount of the previous design but may take something that you feel doesn't represent your design style and is distasteful to you, and if they have listed colors, you must keep them!!! Prints, keep them! Fabrics listed, keep them! You may add things to the design.
I was assigned to finish ~panda-eyes sketch:[link]
the first thing i noticed when i looked at the design was how different it wwas from what i usually design, but not too terribly different, so i knew it wouldn't be that much of a stretch to make it my own.
i made some changes to the design....i took off the frills, since they're not my style at all. instead of the wrap style panda had going on the sketch, i made it more of a straight line....and i moved the bustle up and gave it more layers for added fullness. I changed the back from an oval type cutout to a square cutout.
FABRICS:
Dress- cotton
Bustle & Underskirt- cream gathered chiffon and gold lace
Piping- metallic gold
Belt- gold leather
Inset- gold lace with gold ribbon
i think i did good on keeping the general feel of panda's original design, yet still making it my own to create something fun, and rich looking.
also i don't know why my model is asian this week. i guess i thought it just fit.
please full view.

Everytime I see this, I feel sad that you're gone
If I were a famous singer I would wear this in a heartbeat
I also feel like it's my fault you're gone...due to my bad sketch

aw honey! don't feel bad. i'm very proud of what i designed...i actually pushed myself more than i normally would for a challenge because of your sketch (which wasn't bad!) i would have never even attempted a bustle. so with that, i'm happy. i wish i was still in, i was just the one who had to go....
haha i'm glad you would wear it, that means a lot

Wow! I absolutely love this! This is like how envisioned it but with a great spin on it. I also saw it as purple and gold. If I were to do it I was probably going to bring down the length of the dress and add more layers to the bustle and under-skirt.
You've really creating something amazing, and the detail is amazing...and how about them red shoes?
Absolutley fabulous

Great work...you took panda-eyes vision and made it all your own. I see the inspiration but completely see your aesthetic in this piece... it's so well accomplished, adn the coloring..the print, lace...beautiful. What a regal color pallette and alteration from original sketches! Great showing!
