I have recently finished my Textiles Coursework, which took a lot of blood, sweat and tears (each of these are literal, I cut my arm with a hand-sewing needle and at times I was reduced to tears when I thought I wouldn't finish!!!) However all of this was worth it as I am so happy with the result. Don't take this in the wrong way as I am not trying to brag but I am just proud of myself for creating a garment that I know I wouldn't have been able to create a year ago. I feel this is a real achievement, obviously it's no way perfect and not everyone's cup of tea but I've never made anything as hard as this before! I love making garments and loved making this dress, which is why I thought I would share it with you.
For the coursework we had to create a design brief and mine was to create a prom dress inspired by the character of Titania from Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. Titania is the queen of the fairies and this brief was basically an excuse for me to create a fairy dress! I just wanted to make something that a fairy princess would wear. So without further ado hear are some photos of my dress: |

I'd love to know what you think of the dress. Have any other of you been doing textiles coursework?
