First sale!

Exciting news! I was asked by a friend to design and make a dress for her to wear to a wedding, with the only request being colour and that it be backless. Of course I was very excited as this is the first time I have been given this opportunity. So I threw myself straight into the design and a few weeks on I handed over
the dress (which fitted) for actual payment! I feel like a designer, ha ha. More of this to come hopefully! Pictures of Anna's dress to come after Saturday! X

Been and Gone!

So Thursday 7th June finally arrived, the day for the Heriot Watt graduate fashion show, where my collection would be taking to the catwalk! Alarm went off at 6:15, far too early. It was a long day, with lots of waiting around in the Dovecot Studios Edinburgh, a twelve hour shift pretty much! Arriving at 9 o'clock, we got to see our beautiful models and quickly developed a complex. We had the first show at 4pm, for some local schools,during which there was a mix up of music and names during mine and another girls collections, however we were assured it wouldn't happen in the evening show, which was the important one. The evening show seemed to run without any hitches and everyone seemed to be impressed! Mark Eley of Eley Kishimoto coordinated the show and done a great job. I can't believe that it has been and that I am really finished with uni. Better find myself a job in the real work now!
