you poor sweet, innocent thing, dry your eyes and testify

"sweet sacrifice" by evanescence

three weeks left to make for my final major project (FMP), in case you have forgotten, i chose to base my theme on the 1990 film, edward scissorhands, starring the beautiful johnny depp and the wonderful winona ryder. i watched the film back during the half term in feburary (i think?) and it brought back a lot of nostaglia from a 90s childhood, and the whole essence of innocence that edward has and being a misjudged character from start to finish really captured my attention, such a powerful love story.

moving swiftly on, i wanted to create three ready-to-wear outfits for my collection, but based on the time scale we had, and too much poncing about with samples (in which i still need to do some, oopsie!), three different looks was just going to be too much, less time, more money spending! but, i narrowed it down to two. the first look is a simple dress in which i'm going to use dylon image maker to print scissors vertically down the dress to leave a distorted and distressed look. the second look is a basic v-neck summer top, again using the image maker to print scissors onto, but i'm going to lay the print design just around the neck, with this, i have also made black, baggy and over-sized drawstring trousers, to clinch in the waist to make the trousers appear more baggy on a slender frame, much as seen in the film istelf. i used some beautiful black viscose fabric to create these and they fit like a dream! and they have pockets! never been so happy in my life with them.

hopefully, when i have time, i will scan and upload my sketches of my final design, and also some photoshoots of the completed garments, with hopefully some good hair and make up, dark cupid bow lips and cheekbones that could cut glass, mmm!
