<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><b>Heey guys!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">I just wanted to explain myself and the reason behind me disappearing off the face of the earth. It's just, I'm crazy busy! More specifically trying to get the final year of uni finished. To be completely honestly with you I didn't realise how long it had really been since I last posted, I initially thought it was about 5/6 months, but now logging on after all this time, I'm suddenly embarrassed to be told that the last time I posted was almost a year ago.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Things have been so busy but at the same time, extremely exciting and fun. It just feels totally strange to know that after all this, the end of my education is around 12 weeks away. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">At this point I have finished my final collection, which is a couture collection. I'm just tidying up the last few features ready for it all to be photographed for various shoots, including the 'Look Book' that will be featured at GFW this summer. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"> I haven't forgot about this blog, in fact I have tonnes of updating to do and I can't wait to get all my new stuff out there. I've had loads of great opportunities and I'm just trying to find the time to update this blog and my portfolio. For now it will just have to remain super embarrassing and around 2 years out of date. Great. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Thankyou all for your patience, I thought it was best to explain myself and give you an honest reason for my absence. 12 weeks and counting, watch this space for my new website, new Instagram account and of course updated blog and portfolio. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">I love the ' Fall 2010 ' collection by Dior. Most of you have probably already seen parts of it splattered over the internet, but for those of you who haven`t, here is a selection of the absolutely amazing dresses inspired by 'Flowers', designed by John Galliano for Dior . Galliano said that nature was "the most inspiring teacher".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">I love the head wear too, it was designed by Stephen Jones and was also meant to resemble flowers to compliment Dior`s beautiful dresses. It works so well I think, I just love everything about this collection, the colours, the shape and the styling. Dior is my favourite label by far.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><b>Dior - Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2012</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">I've been looking at Dior once again but this time I'm focussing on the tailoring techniques, specifically within the 'Bar Jacket' and suit. As you know, I have a huge love for Dior, and when I visited the official website yesterday my devotion to Dior was completely certified. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">I watched a selection of fashion shows featured on the site under the 'House of Dior' section, and without a doubt the Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2012 is my favourite. The collection showcases everything Dior is known for, the traditional silhouette of the Bar jacket, floaty pastel shaded fabrics draping together, precise tailoring and creative cutting and an exquisitely beautiful theatrical, feminine foundation. I honestly adore Dior.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">I really learnt a lot during my time at Baroque. I mainly learnt that I stress abit too much and I make things far to complicated and hard for myself when they don't have to be. I spend too much time and effort focusing on all the little things, trying to get everything perfect when it doesn't even matter in the first place and I will still get the same end result. Elaina has been a very inspirational figure to me, considering that she is completely self taught and all the skills and knowledge she knows about dress making she had pick up along the way, she has such a unique and different way of working which still reflects a professional and refined foundation that is vital in dress making, especially bespoke couture.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">I didn't expect this experience to be so laid back though, this is defiantly not meant in a negative way, but through all of my experiences within the last 5 years of further education I have been told that the industry is very brutal, you have to have proper qualifications, you have to have proper experience, you have to be the best within everything you do, this is fashion. But since working with Elaina, I almost feel like I have wasted these last few years trying to compete with everyone to be the best and trying to know everything about fashion and pattern cutting when really all it boils down to is passion and just going out there and doing it. I feel like some of the things I have spent my time learning in the past are not relevant at all now and will never be, because I can still get to where I want to be without knowing silly little things that have nothing to do with the area of business I want to work in, in the first place.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">I have also learnt that I am quite a slow worker, but once again, that's because I am always focusing on getting absolutely everything perfect, even if it doesn't matter. But still, perfection normally is key within couture. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Overall I am very grateful for the experience I have had with Elaina, it was lovely to see how such a personal and intimate business works and how the livelihood of the business depends on its clients. This experience has confirmed for me that I defiantly want to continue to progress into Couture/Haute Couture, as it is an area I feel that I am a respected professional adult in and not a patronised little child. I can used the skills I have trained to learn such as pattern cutting and tailoring which I truly enjoy. But most of all I can be my creative self and adapt with the things that I continue learn about couture, to better myself so that I can realise my own dreams.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Tue 2nd - (12:30 to 5:30)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Towards the end of last week, a lady called Fiona came into the store with a dress she had brought from 'The Dressing Room' and wanted it altered for her fast approaching wedding. Elaina asked me if I wanted to do the alterations again and this time, the entire amount of money made from the alteration would be given to me. Fiona tried on her dress and Elaina and I pinned the bodice into a better fit as this was the area that needed the most alterations. Today I started with the alterations of the dress and I focused on the bust and side seams where the required amounts would taken in. I spent the most part of the day taking in the bodice as the dress was made from so many layers and was made in such a difficult and irregular way that the whole alteration process was extended considerably. I especially struggled with joining the lining and outer dress back together along the top edge as the seam allowance had previously been snipped into to reduce bulk so therefore there was a lot less fabric for the sewing machine to grip onto. By the end of the day I had finished adding the darts into the seam and closed off the bodice again, I just left a small hole on the inside of the lining that I will hand - stitch closed tomorrow.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">When I got to the shop this morning, I hand - stitched closed the small hole on the inside of Fiona's dress and added 2 hanging straps on the inside of the side seams so the dress could be stored properly. Once the alterations were finished, I gave the bodice and the skirt of the dress a light steam to ensure that everything was laying flat and none of the seams had twisted during the alterations process. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">I also helped Elaina re - make the shoulder shrug for Caroline. After pinning the Marabou feather trimming onto the shrug before hand - stitching it into place, we realized that we didn't have enough trim and had only managed to cover 3/4's of the shrug. Elaina asked me to find and order some more trimming for the shrug, off the internet so that we could finish it for Caroline's wedding which was on Sun 7th. I found a private seller on Ebay and ordered 3 metres of Marabou trimming in Ivory. When it finally got delivered a number of days later, the trimming was cream and didn't match the colour of the feathers we already had on the shrug. Elaina decided to keep the cream trimming away and I ordered a further 10 metres of Marabou feather trimming from a different selling on Ebay, so that we could replace the previous trimming and re - cover the shrug with the new shade. When the second set of feathers were delivered we found that the feathers were once again very cream and were totally un-suitable. This was a complete nightmare as we only had 2 days left to find an alternative and make the shrug.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">I sent the wrong feathers back to the seller and got a refund and Elaina decided to make the shrug out of a very glossy velvet with a white shine that would mirror the ivory colour on Caroline's wedding dress. I removed all the pins from the previous shrug we had made and used the pattern from the old shrug as a basis for the velvet shrug. We also altered the shaping of the shoulders to give a better fit and added a thick silk lining for extra warmth. Elaina then quickly finished off the shrug by adding a light embellishment around the neckline and attaching 2 large silk ties on the front to be used as a fastening.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Once the shrug was finished we received a fabric delivery from Elaina's fabric supplier 'Carrington's textiles' based in Lancaster. The new fabric would be for new brides Caroline's and Lucy's dresses.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">For the final part of the day, Elaina and I moved back onto the Art - Deco dress, which is the 3rd dress for the new Ethereal collection. We found some old vintage lace that Elaina had in storage and used that to cover the bodice and to make the underskirt of the dress. We attached the skirt to the bodice along the hip line and then I added a long hidden zip down the centre back of the dress to use as the fastening.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">As we had received a new fabric delivery the previous day, today Elaina and I were able to cut out and make the top circular skirts/polos for Gemma's dress. We used the same polo pattern we had followed for the underskirts and netting of the dress, to ensure that all the layers were the same length and would fall the same way. We cut out 4 polos, 2 for the front and 2 for the back, and joined them all together to make a generous top flounce to cover the netting. Elaina then pinned it into place along the same attachment point of the rest of the layers and allowed the fabric to 'drop' over night in storage.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Bride Caroline also came in to collect her dress for her wedding this week and also tried on the velvet shoulder shrug we had made for her. The shrug was still slightly too big on her shoulders so Elaina pinned it to take it in again and then she would personally deliver the shrug to Caroline when she helped her with her make - up on the day of the wedding. Overall Caroline loved the shrug and was very excited about her wedding. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">This was lovely as I got on really well with Caroline and it was nice to see the whole process with the bride from designs and fittings to collecting the dress and wishing them the best of luck for their wedding. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">When I got into the studio this morning, I was given the task to order some more feather trimming to complete the shrug for Caroline. I ordered a further 3 metres of Marabou feather trimming in Ivory/off white. Once I had finished the order, I helped Elaina make a large circular pattern to cut out the 'polo' shaped flounces which will form the skirt part of bride Gemma's wedding dress. We finished the pattern and cut out 2 'polos' to make a draped and voluptuous skirt which I then seamed and pinned into position onto the bodice of the dress. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Once I had finished that section of Gemma's dress, we both then moved on to alter the basic patterns for new bride Caroline's (the other one) dress. We lengthened the back panels to allow for a longer train as Caroline was quite tall, as well as add additional flare into the side seams of the skirt.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Today I showed Elaina around Manchester and we visited 'Afflecks Palace' finally! Afflecks Palace is an old fire station situated in the Northern Quarter of the city, which has been converted into an alternative shopping complex full of new, young and very unique businesses. The complex is founded upon hundreds of independent companies from Gothic/Steam - Punk stores to small customisati</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">on businesses.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"> I have known about Afflecks for a while now after my sister showed me around the place for the first time when I was younger. Every time I go to Afflecks it is always different and I have noticed that over the years it has become more and more popular, to the point where a number of Elaina's clients, (the Steam - Punk bride and Lucy the pin - up bride) have also visited the complex. I told Elaina about Afflecks when I first started the placement and we have always said we would go but each week it has been re-scheduled. But we finally went and obviously Elaina jumped at the opportunity to learn and experience something new and she loved it! We were in Afflecks for around 3/4 hours and we also looked around the surrounding streets that featured a number of similar, independent alternative stores. I brought a new fur coat and Elaina also brought a coat and shirt with unique creative cutting as well as trinkets and jewellery she plans to use in the Steam - Punk shoot.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> Today I made the basic bodice pattern for the final dress in the Ethereal Collection. The final dress is an Art Deco dress which is loose fitting with different layers of lace on the skirt and a lace scull cap and veil. I finished the patterns for the dress and cut them out in the toile fabric. I also met Lucy, a bride who came in to try on her finished wedding dress. The dress still </span><span style="line-height: 23.99305534362793px;">didn't</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> look quite right as the top layer of lace was twisting so I helped Elaina take the final </span><span style="line-height: 15px;">measurements</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> and adjustments to correct the dress.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"> A small mini shoot was planned for today where I would dress up in the Gypsie dress we had both made and Emma (A model of Elaina's) would wear another new dress in the Ethereal collection. Elaina did both our hair and we got the store ready for the mini shoot. A lady called Helen who owns a local events styling business, also came to the store to take photos to feature on a spread in BTN magazine. Once the shoot was over, I helped Elaina add effects onto a few images using photoshop, and then we also uploaded the images to the Facebook business site to promote the new collection.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"> Helen, the bride I did the alterations for, finally came in to try on her dress the previous weekend and we found that she had lost weight for her wedding and therefore the dress had slipped down and needed taking up again. That weekend, Elaina took the dress up herself and Helen came in today to try on the dress. It fit better and she took the dress home. I also met bride Caroline, who came in to try on her finished dress. I helped with getting her ready and it was a lovely experience to see everyone so happy. Caroline decided that she wanted a shrug to go over her shoulders as the weather is still very cold, so we took her measurements to make a shrug. Another lady came in with a wedding dress she had brought a year ago from ''The Dressing Room' and needed it altering for her Wedding. I helped her into her dress and took the alterations that needed to be made. I am also going to alter this wedding dress. Once all the clients had left, I got on with making the patterns and toile for Caroline's shrug, whilst Elaina continued with Lucy's dress.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">During the weekend Elaina had added the lace to the bodice of
the gypsie dress so today we worked together to cut, make and add the
skirt/train to the dress. I also altered the length of the underskirt silk
dress to 'above the knee' as we decided it would be better to see bare skin
behind the lace layers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="line-height: 18pt;"> Today I met 2 new clients of Elaina's, who she is making
gowns for. </span>Gemma<span style="line-height: 18pt;"> lives in London and is getting married in the summer, Elaina
went over ideas and initial designs with her while I spoke with Joy who is
</span>Gemma's<span style="line-height: 18pt;"> wedding planner. </span>Gemma<span style="line-height: 18pt;"> tried on a </span>toile<span style="line-height: 18pt;"> for her first fitting and
Elaina took the </span><span style="line-height: 23.99305534362793px;">deposit</span><span style="line-height: 18pt;">. The second bride was Caroline, who is also getting
married in the summer. Caroline was unsure about the neckline she wante</span></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: xx-small; line-height: 18pt;">d so she
tried on a number of dresses in the store. I helped out with this </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: xx-small; line-height: 18pt;">as well</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: xx-small; line-height: 18pt;"> as
keeping her guests company, making tea and taking photos for Caroline on her
phone.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"> In the morning, Elaina and I designed 2 more dresses we would
like to make in the summer as well as plan to make a tailored jacket in
the next 2 weeks that I would teach Elaina how to make. Lyn Stevenson
came in to try on her completed dress, I took photos of her in it as we were
going to put up a 'bride wall' in the design studio and Lyn was our first
bride. Elaina kept the dress to give it a final steam and clean up before Lyn
collects it next week. We also went to Mansfield to see Rebecca from Vintage
Raven. I had a chance to see her studio and all the new pieces she had made and
all the designs she has for her private clients. We all had a nice cup of tea
and collected some new stock from her to display in Baroque Couture. It was
lovely.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>That evening a model of Elaina's was
visiting the shop to try on the gypsie dress to wear at the Wedding Fayre this
Sunday.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

unavailable to go to any </span><span style="line-height: 23.99305534362793px;">fayres.</span><span style="line-height: 18pt;"> I tried on the dress and we altered the waist
darts and bust cups to fit. Elaina then finished the bodice by adding lace
embellishments whilst I decorated and customised garters to sell in the shop.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"> After finishing the alterations on Helens wedding dress last
week, I pressed the dress today and felt that the top layer of the dress needed
re-hemming as it had frayed and twisted whilst it was being stored before being
hemmed. I re-hemmed the dress and checked it all over and neatened it up. I
also started again on the umbrella for a few house and met another contact of
Elaina's. A local lady who also makes wedding accessories. Her company is called 'Bijou Bouquets', Her link . . <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="line-height: 18pt;"> Today I helped Elaina email clients she had met at Colwick
wedding fayre on Sunday. I also dressed up in a wedding dress and headpiece for
her so she was able to take a few images and upload them onto her Facebook
business site. We looked at possible lace ideas for the gypsie dress we are
planning on making, and then we drove to 'Clunys' lace factory in Ilkeston to buy
it. The factory is the only lace factory left in the U.K that still
manufactures lace. I had the chance to look around the lace </span><span style="line-height: 23.99305534362793px;">storage</span><span style="line-height: 18pt;"> room and
handle alot of the lace the factory produce. I also saw the lace archive book
made by the factory which consisted of all the laces the factory had ever
produced. There were millions. We were also given the chance to go into the </span><span style="line-height: 23.99305534362793px;">machinery</span><span style="line-height: 18pt;"> room where we saw the lace being made, the lady explained the
process to me and pointed out all the 1000 bobbins and needles used to make a
single piece of lace. I saw all the lace templates that were placed into the </span><span style="line-height: 23.99305534362793px;">machine</span><span style="line-height: 18pt;"> and all the old lace cards that had the specifications of each type of
lace. I suggested doing the </span><span style="line-height: 23.99305534362793px;">photo-shoot</span><span style="line-height: 18pt;"> for the gypsie dress in the </span><span style="line-height: 23.99305534362793px;">machine</span><span style="line-height: 18pt;"> room as it was quite fitting and all the old lace cards would be a great back
drop. Elaina loved it and is now planning a </span><span style="line-height: 23.99305534362793px;">photo-shoot</span><span style="line-height: 18pt;"> in the factory once the
dress has been made. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="line-height: 18pt;">Today I made my first veil, Elaina showed me how she usually makes
them and I made it for her. I cut the net and hand - stitched it to a wire to
be wrapped around a hair bun. I embellished it with various beads and gems.
The veil will be put on display in the shop so that </span><span style="line-height: 23.99305534362793px;">visiting</span><span style="line-height: 18pt;"> brides can try it
on with their dresses. After buying the lace we wanted from Cluny's, We cut out
the </span><span style="line-height: 23.99305534362793px;">under dress</span><span style="line-height: 18pt;"> of the gypsie dress from a stiff silk and made the foundations.
We then spent the rest of the day playing around with the lace we had brought
to work out the best way it looks. This was quite difficult because we had so
many different types of lace and some didn't go with others and we were trying
to get them to work together the best we could.</span></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 18pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">I started to make the alterations on the wedding dress for
Helen who is getting married in around 3 weeks time. I pinned the bust support
and hand stitched it to the inside of the dress. I measured and cut the hem to
the new length. This took me most part of the day. I also met a man Called Liam
Murray who is a professional costume maker who specialises in 'Steam-punk' and
has made costumes for the Royal Ballet. He came to meet Elaina to discuss ideas
for a Steam Punk wedding dress she is making for a private client. He gave her
contact details of people he knows, e.g alternative photographers and bespoke
metal workers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Before
the start of my placement at Baroque Couture, I had previously visited the shop with my sister on
the 02/01/13 to discuss her wedding dress ideas and to take her initial measurements. My sister also gave me a sketchbook of inspiration and ideas
for her dress.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"> I fixed a<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>bouquet
which was displayed in the store (made by a contact Elaine knows called 'Vintage
Raven’). as well as looked over the dress ideas and the inspiration that my sister
supplied me with to help design her dress. Later in the day we discussed pattern cutting with and I asked about the ways she would normally make her dresses. I taught
her a bit of pattern cutting that I had learnt at Trent (Elaina never went to
college or university and was self taught), I showed her how to do 'The Great
Knot'. We made a small half scale and I did a demonstration for her and she
tried it herself and kept the pattern pieces on her cork board for further
reference. I also helped re-stock her displays after the visited a Wedding Fayre
the previous day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"> After discussing pattern cutting the previous day, I took my blocks and creative pattern cutting folder in to show Elaina. I also took in my corset that I made at BCU because she wanted to see it. In the day we went to a photo-shoot at ‘Shottle Hall’ in Derbyshire. The photo-shoot was for 'City Life' Magazine and was courtesy of ‘Boudoir Bells’ photography studio in Nottingham. I met the photographers Maria Tanner and Yvonne Lishman and the model Keelie. Elaina did the models’ make up and I helped arrange the set. During the shoot I had the chance to watch and suggest outfit changes. I had suggested a pose idea to the photographer, Yvonne, and she loved it so I was allowed to direct the model into the pose and they took pictures. A selection of images will be published in City Life Magazine at a later date. Back at the shop we looked at alternative Wedding Fayres and I showed Elaina alternative blogs and we discussed ideas for photo-shoots We decided we were going to make a heavily laced gypsie/bohemian dress and Elaina asked if I could help with the manufacture, shoot and help source and alternative 'hippy' model. We also tried on loads of old corsets that Elaina had made for theatre plays and drank a million cups of coffee.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"> Because we had a limited amount of time, we looked for further inspiration for the gypsie dress and I helped Elaina sort out her Baroque Couture Business page on Facebook; she currently has someone else to do it for her and she wants to learn how to do it herself. I showed her how to upload images straight from her computer and from her phone, and she uploaded 2 images I took from the Boudoir Bells photo-shoot, 2 flyers for Wedding Fares she will be attending and a selection of images of a red dress she made a number of weeks ago. I also showed her how to 'tag' herself in images to help promote her business. Here is what we did . . </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/BaroqueCoutureDerbyshire?fref=ts" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">http://www.facebook.com/BaroqueCoutureDerbyshire?fref=ts</a></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"> I started to re-cover an old umbrella Elaina had
previously used in a play as she wanted to use it in a window display in her
shop. Helen, a lady who is due to get married in 5 weeks, came in for her
alteration, and I helped Elaina pin the dress and determine where the
alterations will be made. I helped suggest a veil and jewellery made by Vintage
Raven to Helen which she bought. I met Rebecca, the lady who owns Vintage Raven
when she came to the shop to drop off a delivery of new jewellery pieces she
had made. I tried a few on and helped Elaina find places for them in the shop.<br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>

As part of my time at Baroque Couture I had the opportunity to go along to a shoot which was part of a prize that the winner, Keelie had won, as well as a corset made by Elaina Evans, owner of Baroque Couture.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The photoshoot and competition were courtesy of 'Boudoir Bells' in Nottingham, and the photographers Maria Tanner and Yvonne Lishman took the pictures.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Also, a selection of photos from todays shoot will be published in 'City Life' magazine.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">It was a great opportunity to see how other photographers work and to be apart of a shoot that will be in a local magazine, plus it wasn't too bad when I had the chance to direct some of the poses and give ideas. It was a good day :)</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <a

I've always enjoyed sitting down and letting my mind run wild in vivid colours and exaggerated proportions and just seeing what ends up on the paper and recently i've developed a deep passion for delicate illustrations.

I need to pop back into the clinic in Nottingham today to have a look at the damage, which i'm dreading.</span></p><p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#000000;font-size:x-small;">I've been trying to do abit of my uni work to keep my mind off the pain, it's sorta helped but then I get bummed out about how much work I actually have to do. I sat down at my desk this morning and it's like this. To put on top of all of the crap, Jon's just got up straight out of bed and put his new Cher Lloyd CD which I purchased him for Xmas straight on to listen to. It's going to be one of those days today, I know it. Now to clear this desk and get to the clinic hopefully. </span></p><p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#000000;font-size:x-small;">I also actually need to clean the fish today as well, they keep staring at me from their bowl whilst i'm sitting at my desk, trying to guilt-trip me and distract me about the fact that they're still swimming in green water. Sorry guise! You'll be clean soon, I just need to mend first.</span></p><p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#000000;font-size:x-small;">Talk later anyways.</span></p><p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#000000;"><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'><a href="http://thebigyellowbag.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/lol-scaled1000.jpg"><img alt="Lol" height="375" src="http://thebigyellowbag.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/lol-scaled1000.jpg?w=300" width="500" /></a></div><br /></span></p>TheBigYellowBaghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05060654380034333875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6653802754949302083.post-45761378448678497902013-01-04T06:17:00.000-08:002013-03-22T15:38:24.651-07:00Collages from Randy Grskovic<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">Currently at uni i'm doing a project where we take an abstract approach to design and pattern cutting. When I was having a look around for research and ideas I came across a few pieces of work by this unique artist called Randy Grskovic. I only found four images on the tumblr link I was on, but I think they are great and I can't stop looking at them. Great texture, great colours and great inspo. </span></p><br/>[gallery columns="4" ids="48,81,198,214"]<br/><p style="text-align:center;"></p>TheBigYellowBaghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05060654380034333875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6653802754949302083.post-60125053595094697502012-12-31T06:19:00.000-08:002013-03-22T15:38:24.622-07:00New Year, New Start (Apparently).<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">Seeing as it's the New Year tomorrow, I am completely determined to have a fresh start and follow my dreams and work towards my aspirations.
