Fashion Design Fashion 30 Course 2005 The brown satin pair of short crop pants was one of my first clothing designs I have ever created. I constructed these pair of pants in my high school fashion class. I was not as well skilled in sewing a few years ago as I am now so if I were to recreated them today, there would be a couple of detailing I would change in my deign. For instance, the back pockets would be placed higher on the pants, the bottom would be stitched more evenly, I would use a different fabric like a twill linen or cotton, and I would add a button in the front of the pant instead of fastening it with a safety pin, which is not visible in the picture. During 2006, the fashion style at the time inspired me to sew a shiny pair of crop pants.

Fashion Design Fashion 30 Course 2006 The red woven cotton dress with a lace trimming was a reconstructed dress I designed in my high school fashion class. I bought an old vintage dress from a thrift store and added some lacey trimming and black ribbon to adjust it to my style. I really love the red color of the summer dress that is what is most attractive about it, and the style reminds me of the 60’s when the mini was first introduced. By adding these accessories to the dress, made it look more modern to the cur- rent style in 2007.

Fashion Design Fashion 30 Course 2007 The satin baby blue dress was my final project for my high school fash- ion class. Many things inspired me to create this piece. I was aiming for a soft summer look, but at the same time something that can be worn to an elegant occasion. The luster of the satin fabric gives it a formal touch, along with the crystal studs on the top. The light color and smooth texture makes it very pleasant to wear on a casual summer day. This type of dress is still found in style as I recall from many current fashion magazines.

Fashion Design Archbishop O’leary High School Graduation 2008 For my 2008 high school graduation, I wanted to design a unique formal gown. It was very trendy to have a low back dress, but I knew all the other girls in my graduating class would be thinking the same. To avoid repletion of the style and want to be out of the ordinary, I designed a dress by the inspiration of an Egyptian draped toga or himation with a hint of a modernism style. To give it a signature look and not completely copying a toga style, I wrapped it around my back only covering the upper part and leaving the lower and side open. The long length and train at the end of the dress was not only contributed to the ancient toga look, but was trendy at the time in Hollywood as well. I choose a polyester fabric for an elegant and lustrous appearance, and the electric blue since it is my favorite color. This graduation dress was my best deign yet.
