Vintage Skater Skirt With Hand Painted Hem

Last week I made a new skirt to go onto my etsy store. The skirt is made from vintage fabric which used t oblong to my grate-grandmother and the hem has been hand painted to give an ombre effect. 

I am making each skirt that I sell specifically for that individual customer and their waist measurement. 

The skirt is for sale at www.crossmyheartapparel.etsy.com

Contrast Denim Shorts

I have a new item added to my etsy store: 

 A pair of denim cut off shorts with distressed hem. The left side has been bleached to a near white giving a speckled effect. The waist band sits about an inch and a half below the natural waist helping to give the shorts a very relaxed feel the outside side seams are also open an inch and half up from the hem to help give a relaxed worn in feel. 

SIZE: Waist band from side to side 38cm

Working Drawings for warehouse project

 For a project I am currently doing at university I have been set the task of designing a collection of 10 outfits (we only have to make 2 garnets which can create an outfit) for the british clothing company Warehouse. Andrea the jersey designer for warehouse came in to brief us and gave us 4 trends we could choose from for SS13 to bace our collection on, these being: Masai, Binary, Flounce and NYC Grunge. 

Any one who has seen my previous work, or that knows me would of properly expected me to pick the grunge trend. I was tempted, but instead i decided to go with Masai as a means of pushing myself and my work. The dress below is one of the pieces from my collection that I will be making. 

 The main body of the dress will be made from a fine jersey with a black chiffon bodice which features stud and chain detail along the neck line and a twisted and knotted detail at the waist. 

I should be making the toile for this in the next week and will be posting pictures of the toile as well as my other work soon. :)
