it begins with a sketch.actually when a client comes up to me and says "i need a dress."i completely and obediently pull out my sketch pad and pencils to draft something for her.
SKETCH FIRST,ASK QUESTIONS LATER.
the second step-HYPNOTIZE them with BLING!lol
no...actually inform them with what materials youll be using with their dress.
my faves of course are SWAROVSKI,and beads.
the more shiny the more fun!lol
its all about PRESENTATION- when the client wants to see pre-finishing,we deliberately show them the pinned decor and unfinished hem,flower and other techniques we use to make the dress special.
the finished dress in a body form.
out for display or having taken the picture,,i feel proud that i was able to finish the dress.
later...
