Bridesmaids Edition: Coral and Gold

Hello dolls,

I hope you are all having an amazing week! I have been involved in quite a number of wedding projects and have decided to post on a couple of them and on subsequent ones. This post features a coral and gold dress made for the bridesmaids. The official wedding colours were burnt orange and champagne; we selected colours in the same family but with different hues for the bridal train.

I made a boob tube floor length dress from a stretchy silk-satin. The stretchy fabric is form fitting and clings like a second skin. It's bodice is covered with guipure lace, has a high neck in front and a cut out behind. The rest of the dress flows mermaid style with one piece in front and three pieces at the back giving it a slight tail at the hem. There's a tie-sash at the waist that provides extra detail to the style. The dress is accessorized with a gold brooch on the sash to provide that little bit of bling.

The bride and bridesmaids loved the dress. Happy clients make for a happy designer *:)

Orange Crush

Hello dearies

My apologies for the long hiatus but I'm back and ready with new content that is guaranteed to inspire you.

Today's outfit is a mixture of textures and colours that I wouldn't have thought to combine ordinarily. I made this oufit from peach guipure lace and orange tribal print ankara. The skirt is a combination of two styles in vogue; the dip hem and the full flares. It also has a tie-bow behind. Full, voluminous skirts are flattering to most silhouettes and can be dressed up or down.

The top has been tucked in to show off the details of the skirt. It balances out the volume of the skirt and adds a touch of feminism. The v-neck on the top allows for accessorizing with chunky neck pieces. In this case, I have gone for a red beaded necklace which balances the entire look, but provides a bit of contrast when combined with the royal blue shoes.

This looks works for a number of occasions and each piece can be mixed with other pieces to suit whatever occasion.
