On my list of
possible ideas for prom dresses was written, very vaguely 'the sea' so I was
thinking of something calming and blue when I searched for images to work from.
Instead I ended up with a beautiful image of the sun over the sea in which a
reasonable amount of the picture was not blue, but gold. This dress took quite
a bit of playing about with necklines and draping before I felt I had it right,
and then a lot of experimentation with colour.
I'm really pleased
with the end result and the way that the blue fades quite subtly into the gold.
I wasn't intending to do so, but out of curiosity I tried out a glitter brush
over the dress, with the glitter fading away higher up the dress. I thought the
effect looked something like pictures you see of sunlight from beneath the
waves, so I decided to keep it.
The plain creamy
yellow narrow underskirt of the dress makes the outfit appear more formal, and
contrasts nicely with the decorativeness of the main dress. However, it could
be made without the underskirt for a less formal look, or to show off a
particularly nice pair of shoes. The dress fastens at the back and features a
thin gold halter neck.
I hope you liked
this design. For more designs, check back here next week, or visit my every-day
