Phenominals
Before pictures
Our group picked out a young white dress with a black flowery print over the white top layer. This dress was very out of style and we knew it would be a challenge to transform it into something some one would wear today.
New design illustrations
With the original dress we decided to cut off the black flower print off and that left us with only the white base layer. We then hemmed the bottom of the dress to mid thigh length and adjusted the side seams to create a more fitted look. Then black flower lace was added to the side panels of the dress as well as black trim on the neck line, bottom, and was also added vertically along the sides of the lace.
Final Garment
The final garment came out to be a short, fitted white dress with black lace on the side panels. A red bag "bow" bag was also made to accent the outfit with some color. The final piece is very modern and looks like something that could be worn to a party or a sweet sixteen.
