On Wednesday, 15th June, after months of hard work, my FMP gown was finally unveiled at the uni end of year show.
Setting up

Unfortunately, as one of my other designs was being modelled on the catwalk by my gorgeous girl, this is the only time I got to stand with my work which means I could not hear any feedback from the dress

The dress is based on a 1940's fashion illustration and the centre panel I created in CAD using a background from a collection of acrylic, quink and bleach art works I painted then merging in iconic images from World War 2 finally adding with my hand painted watercolours of Poppies and photographs of tanks and barbed wire. The final design was then digitally printed coutesy of The Silk Bureau onto Habotai Silk
