If you didn't know, I'm an aspiring designer. I sew a lot. I'm horrible at sketching but my excellent sewing skills make up for it :) I'd like to show you all some of my designs for small fashion shows in my community that I did last year.



I don't really like some of the designs, but it's all I've got so far, especially on the second picture. I plan to enter, but I want to know whether or not I should submit these or make new ones. So please, critique & suggestions would be appreciated. Tell me what you'd like to see, what to change, etc. Thank you!

Wow, good luck! I admire people who make clothes so much! I want to make my own, but don't even know where to begin.

Incidentally, have you ever made your own prom dress or anything like that? I think it's AMAZING when people can sew really well, it's something I want to learn.

Go for it! :) Best of luck!

i really like the right-most zebra striped dress in the second picture.


but, & this is just my opinion, i kinda think you're doing either too much pattern - or too much plain. maybe try some sequins & stuff? words?

although thats not great advise; seeing as i totally admire you for even attempting to sew clothes. better than anything i could do. good luck though!

Hey! it's been a long time. i just posted something, come & comment it :)

that's fantastic that you're going for goal! i can't sew worth crap, so i applaud you.

as for my humble input, i very much like the fact that you tie your clothes together (like the second picture- the relationship between each garment is clear). my favorite pieces are of the second picture, the two right most.

if there's anything i think you could change, i think that you could narrow your focus on fabric choice a little bit and develop a story.

anyway, i hope that helps. i can't wait to hear more about your submission. good luck!
