Queen's Graduation

Hi guys :) Today's post is all about Queen! Yes, queen of crazy, queen of fun, queen of beautiful! lol. Few months ago, this lovely lady (who is also an amazing singer) gave me the joy of designing and creating her graduation dress; she wanted two dresses to choose from. We had a consultation where I shared a few ideas with her that she loved, however, nothing was finalised until I'd gone and shopped for ideal fabric. One thing she said was that her favourite colour is beige so I knew at least one of the options ought to be beige. I'm mostly inspired to design after I've seen the fabric that I'm working with - colour and texture both come into place. After this, I sent her an email of the final sketches and she was happy with it.

Both dresses turned out so lovely that the dilemma was which one to go for. We did a photoshoot of both dresses right after she got her hair done by Jadoy! Photos & Styling by me.

First dress: Beige, One shoulder, Puffball sleeve, flared dress, with a detachable navy belt.

Second Dress: BabyPink, statement sleeves, low back sheath dress. 

 

So there it is :) Queen really wanted to go for the pink for her graduation. My opinion was that the beige was more ideal and the pink is better saved for a wedding. Tell me guys which would you go for and why??

Queen eventually chose the beige! :D

From one doc to another...

...well, Medical student. :)

Tope aka Margaret is a lovely, beautiful girl studying medicine at the university of Nottingham. She asked me a few months back to make her a dress for the end of term cultural ball. I have special admiration for doctors & medics likewise, I'll never know why. It could be because I nursed the idea of becoming one for a long while growing up OR simply because I am addicted to Grey's Anatomy lol.

We had a consultation & she wanted to use a print fabric that her mum had bought. I find that sometimes print could look really casual and seeing as it was for a ball, I had to create something that would look dressy enough. I decided to do one of my favourite things in design which is to mix in another print. She was happy with the idea & equally happy with the outcome. Tope's choice of shoes was absolutely perfect. Here's how our photo session went:

 

 

As soon as we decide to step out for some outdoor pics, we encounter England Rainfall! Hooray! Just Typical -__- Typical for our weather to have mood swings, but it didn't stop us :D We decided to use umbrellas as props, I had one too to protect the 7d. Fun stuff :)

Hope you like it as much as we do :) Tell us what you think in the box below!
