So I saw The Faint again on Thursday night...

You sit in the dark, get nicked by the strobe light
While we're playing indoors
We play in the bar, we play in a basement
We play in a room where the mix isn't right
The help at the door, the age to get in
The artist is smug, they don't sound like they did
We're ready to move, the crowd is a stare
If you got things on you're mind, SHAKETHEMOFF

Thats why we have come to collect you bodies from your lovers
And pause all the suffering...at least start pacing

You're not on the list, you paid to get in
Your boyfrined is mad, it was something you did
In concert tonight, the bass drum is quick
If you've got things on your mind, SHAKETHEMOFF

Evening Wear!

So...I should do posts like these more often because no one has any idea what I do at school! But hey, it's a start.

Our latest assignment was evening wear. I based my design on Silk Spectre from Watchmen. I'd been wanting to do a Watchmen-inspired piece for a while now, but last semester was all ready-to-wear and therefore not fabulous enough. I guess it's a mixture of movie and comic.

I'm going to make a few small changes before Reviews. I'm adding some hand beading on the princess seams of the waist cincher, and I'm going to let the center front slit in the chiffon extend up to the waistline so the skirt can really billow on the runway. All in all, I'm pretty happy with it.

These pictures aren't ideal.... eventually I'll get a real model to wear it and do a better job styling her. This was the best I could do on short notice. I only did it because it looks MUCH better on an actual body than on the dress form.
