It's been far to long since I've updated this, I've just been so busy with Uni over the last few months It's only just died down and letting me have a day or two to breathe and do other normal things, so I'm going to do a quick update..
Last time I blogged I was talking about a corset project and how I was struggling to get going with that. Well that's done and finished and forgotten about!
This is the corset I ended up making for Holly..
Was just a simple, matt black corset with flower detail at the top edge. Was underbust in style as she is so full in the bust an overbust corset would just squash her, rather than show off her laverly boobs! This is what she made for me..
A lovely deep red little red riding hood inspired corset x
But it wasn't just making the thing we had to get the pattern cutting perfect as the garment was being graded on compression and not just how pretty it was, a tech folder, also needed to make a basque which I'll upload a pic in a sec of, erm, it was just non stop. And on top of that I had literally 8 other projects to do.
So yeah, this is the final display anyway.
You can see the basque there, a cheeky cut out bottom cup shows a little bit of skin whilst the rest is nice and fitted to hide all the lumps and bumps. Kinda shows the work load? And for only one project. But whatever it's done now. Had quite alot of illustration to do also for a trend package I had to design for AW12..
Starting to feel like I'm finally developing my own illustrator style now, which is nice, as before it's been such an issue for me to draw in a style i feel confident with, but I'm getting there I think.
also had another project which is all handed in now but I had to design a shapewear garment for Charnos. Didn't win the compition but had to present to the CEO of Charnos, Figleaves and Lingerie Buyer which was probably one of the scariest things I've ever done in my entire life.
Last picture now as I'm tired and I'm up at half 6 for Uni, but this is what I made.
Modeled by one of the most gorgeous ladies I know and also the bravest! Had her bum out all day bless her haha x
But yeah, onto term two of year two now and I feel I'm more used to the work load, however stressful it makes me feel I got through the first term so I'll manage this, and it's only like 3 months until I break up for the summer (yeah, the summer, until October. Makes me wonder what I'm paying £3,500 a year for in tuition fees but.)
So yeah, I'll be more consistent with this blog now.. honest x
