purple haze

i've made plenty of garments, but almost all of them thus far have been modeled to a size 10 dress form, which in today's world is really about a size 4 (in other words, a size of the past for me) so i can't wear them. however, i took it upon myself to actually make a dress for my friend's wedding rehearsal dinner, and this is how it turned out:


this is a sketch of what the back was actually supposed to look like, but my stupid ass decided to go out the night before the wedding instead of staying home and finishing the dress. so yeah.. i was not packed at all when my mom picked me up, so i just threw everything into a bag, not realizing that i'd left the back piece at my friends house. i got really angry for a minute because i'm so idealistic when it comes to my designs, but i got over it, made do with it, and finished it 30 minutes before the dinner.
p.s. isn't kat the most beautiful bride ever? her dress was absoutely dreamy.
