This gown is gorgeous! Very well made and tailored. ( Lash Out Poppy Parker, Perfectly Suited Giselle and As Dusk Falls Eugenia) I was still singing even though it was raining.
Have you ever had that moment when you dressed a doll in something and it just “sang”? You know what I mean right? It just makes you go “ Oh man…that looks so amazing on her!” I had that happen this week and while my first choice for background did not pan out, I found a couple alternate solutions that worked out just fine. So this is the rain part of the title so where is the singing? So what do you do? You change your shoot location and make the best of it. But…Īnd not looking like it was going to change any time soon. Loved the natural texture of this and the green moss that spindled out like vines. Unfortunately, I didn’t receive the item I wanted to shoot until this week. I would have shot this last week, if I had had what I wanted to shoot last week.
Last week, we enjoyed days and days of 90 degree weather and loads of sunshine. I called it "As Dusk Falls" because I imagined my character as a "mysterious lady" - like that old time story about "Cinderella" - when she appears from almost twilight air and everybody looks at her mesmerized by her beauty.Trying to photograph things in natural light in the Pacific Northwest is pretty much a crap shoot even on a good day. To make it look effortless and modern, I covered parts of the dress with mesh inserts. I chose to reconstruct a vintage looking bodice for my dress and combine it with the today's most popular red carpet "mermaid style" skirt. The competition theme was perfect for me, but I wanted to combine a classic vintage dress with modern edgy elements that even the future Fashion Royalty doll released 30 years from now could easily wear. "I love vintage era fashions and I think many fashion designers are looking to be inspired by it. That was an amazing feeling to receive such honor by winning in both categories, it's like falling in love for the first time - doesn't matter what your future holds, but you will always remember the first one." - Julia Leroy Since I had some experience in creating doll clothes, I knew I had chances to win but I would never think it actually could happen. The 2014 Gloss convention was my first Integrity Toys convention and I was entering the very first time for a doll design competition.
