Gothic Madam (Draping 1)


 










This dresses main body was up cycled from various garments. The sleeves of the top was made from a pair of dress pants and interestingly it isn’t closed but rather the top of the sleeve is open. The torso itself is made from a stripped skirt and the skirt of the whole ensemble ironically was made from a wrap skirt. The tulle and fringe additions were the only things that weren’t up cycled and had to be purchased. The train in the back I hand detailed by gathering the tulle in certain areas, I wanted to create a sort of sporadic effect. I decided it needed the tulle train and “ascot” thing because it looked too plain to me. I wanted to add drama and although less is more in cases, when I paired the two together, it just clicked in my brain and it felt like it was complete.

This design was based purely off of a gothic design concept I had in my head for a long time. I know this doesn't look as nice on the form which is why I provided an image of how it looked like on the model, isn't it lovely?
