NEED HELP ( but nothing depressing) :)

Hey.. so i am no in year 11 :) (yay for the last year of school) ... but for my textiles project i have to design and make a wedding dress.. and i just wondered if anyone could help me with features, colours, shape acsesories..etc! any help would be apreshaited!! thanks xx

Wooo, I've never made a dress. I always liked the off the shoulder design, with a bell-bottom, trail hooked to the waist of the dress, not the veil, probably made of gauze, and the dress would have trails of lace running down it, embroidered with little green leaves that wound around dark red roses... but, I have no idea how to make that. xD

I like off the shoulder too, and I like the look of a ribbon right under the bust line that has a bow in the back where the ends go down to the bottom of the dress. About the details, definately a gentle-looking material, some color (maybe if the ribbon is a certain color and then have flowers the same one that contrasts with the dresses color?) I dont know...Just some ideas, Good Luck =-)

Wow I would have loved to have done that!!
Hmm just look in magazines, websites etc. Choosea style you want, then begin to sketch out different design you want, like what kind of bust you want for the dress, then put them together choosing the ones you like most. And then begin to choose fabrics/colours etc.
Hope all goes well!

thanks for all your help guys :) just keep them ideas coming if you can :) much apreshiated!!! xx

What do you all think about the origianal yet morden white??? to simplistic???

oh and natz.... i was thinking for my style to be ...a modern, sophisticated approach to classic style

Simplistic is good - Very modern. And maybe you could add just a few tiny bits of colour, like a corset type belt around the waist in very pale powdery colours. Soft tones.

thanks Kim... so its simplistic.. white, mordern, and a pale colouerd detail... any more suggestions.. i really wanna get a good grade :)

Look at modern wedding dresses, but don't copy them. Take those ideas and adapt them to be your own. Add your wn unique touch/style. I'm sure you have a style?

I would start with a basic pattern and modify from there.

yeah thanks girls :) .. you have all been a greast help.. all thats left now is me.. and good luck lol!!
