My Wedding Sketch

So this semester I took a fashion illustration class, and I didn't do too bad considering that I didn't know how to draw.  I just thought I would show you guys what I've been up to these past few months.  

My theme for this sketch is a modern vintage bride, which is a popular theme that has popped up in the bridal industry about five years ago, especially on Pinterest.  Modern vintage is taking elements from the past and pairing them with something new, and the design has to be something that every bride would want to wear because that is what makes it modern.  For example, I took a popular vintage silhouettes and added modern details like crystal beading.   

This is just one of my designs.  It's a ballgown made with big silk rosettes, which make the dress bottom heavy and very dramatic.  This design is for the woman that wants to feel like a princess on her big day.  Her belt is made of pearls and crystal beading that match her necklace.  I also added a silk organza panel near her bust, so she is not too exposed.
