Toilet Paper Wedding Dress???

Toilet paper dresses like whaaatttttt??!?!?!? Kinda wish I had actually made it out of real fabric cuz then I could wear it but unfortunately, pins are the only things holding this thing together so... Anyways, the project. Before anything started we were put into teams of three and had to come up with a concept in 2D form. I already had a bunch of ideas for the design so I pitched them and my team was like "okay so g8" and I put together a sketch and here it is


I watch Say Yes to the Dress like everyday on TLC so I was throwing out all of these terms like (read these like an old pompous British man cuz that's who I picture saying this) "illusion neckline with a subtle sweetheart", "on the bodice we should continue to texture of the flowers". But when it came to the skirt of the dress I wanted to do a train, but I also wanted to keep it modern with a short dress, but not a high-low dress cuz no. So that's when my brain just kept screaming "HIP CAPE!?" And so the hip cape was formed. I don't know if there is a formal name for it but I'm still going to call it a hip cape. 

But yeah we worked really well together when making the dress. We kind of assigned "jobs" of which part of the dress each of us would work on, so my partners, Abrina and Thao, worked on the front of the bodice and I worked on the back. The critique went well with a lot of positive feedback, and someone wondered what it would look like if the skirt was long all the way around, but we were like "BUT THE HIP CAPE!?!?!?" so we didn't change that. Then (s/o to Keeane) Keeane suggested that we should continue the flowers onto the skirt to make it more cohesive. G8 suggestion Keeane because our dress upgraded big time.We all agreed on continuing the flowers onto the short part of the skirt and a little bit on the back. After we finished the final touches, it was !!!!! love it so much! 10/10 would recommend





Here's a pic of the final sketch
