How to Design the Prototype for a Dress

I found this video very inspiring. You’ll see how from a simple idea sketched on paper you start to build the prototype of the dress.

The prototype technique is to define the types and volumes of the garment by casting a neutral cotton directly on the mannequin dressmaker with pins.

The prototype allows the designer to make a first impression of the final appearance of his creation and it is essential to carry out the boss of the model.

Behind the Makeup

Have you ever asked yourself how to apply make-up to look naturally?

This trend of being natural comes from the 1930’ when ladies of society liked to preserve the myth of being naturally beautiful.

For those who are interested in having a natural look like women in the 1930’s, I found interesting and I hope it will be useful for you too, a video tutorial on how to make up yourself to look naturally.

Hopefully, this video will help those who are aiming for a natural look.

If it doesn’t work by yourself, or if you’re presenting your fashion collection and you’re searching for a make up artist for your models, you can get in touch with make up artist Diana Ionescu from Romania. Here you can visit her portfolio for more info.

How to transform the passion for fashion into business

Milliner Kim Dye of Topsy Turvy Design has always had a passion for history. From a young age she built elaborate sets and costumes, in an attempt to recreate the bygone eras she’d read about in books.

Nowadays, her handmade hats channel this passion and combine her interest in theater, costume, puppetry and architecture. She dreams of the day when everyone will return to dressing up for every occasion with hat and gloves.

This video was very inspiring to me as it tells the story of a passionate woman who lives her dream and created her own business starting with a simple passion. I also found inspiring her workspace, it is set in a historical, 1915’s brick building.

Enjoy and be inspired!
