does it have to be a gown for a girl...think about what raven symone wore to the golden globes....it would be a fantastic logo shot but not a gown.

**photo deleted so there is no confusion with entering**

 

I was wondering if there was a low-tech way to approximate a green screen, then realized that in this wonderful Intarweb Age, I need not wonder long. I found this spiffy tutorial on YouTube. Scaled down to doll size, it should be even cheaper and easier to do.

See? I have already learned something in this round!

 

Yay, new challenge! I can't wait to see all the fabulous gowns.....

My inspirations were basically various vibrant tropical flowers, passionflower and trumpet flower and royal poinciana. I made the pattern for the dress with a sort of flamenco-style bell skirt and a sleeveless bodice. I then beaded lots and lots of scallops to add to the ruffled hem on the skirt, a diamond flower accent for the bodice, and the stamens for the passionflower hairpiece (the orange petals are from a silk flower I had in my craft stash). The shoes are keychain ballet flats from Ardene, not made by me.

 

I hope you all are as excited as Elfmoon and I are! We've been discussing this challenge for months, so give it all you got! I cannot wait to see what you come up with!! Good luck, designers!

Entry! - The Child Prodigy -
It took me a little while to decide the best way to make a child look glitzy and glamorous without the generic branding of being the kid of a wealthy celebrity. After a good bit of thought, I decided a little performing artist should be born, and he's dressed to impress on the eve of his piano recital in Carnegie Hall... After, of course, the interviews and photographs are taken.
My costume colors and design were based off the peacock feather; rich in color, but light and airy.
I made all parts except the hat base (I picked it up at my local craft store but I added all the details myself) and his boots.

Glamor Shot/Project Runway Pose!

It took forever to get him to stand like this... He's so kicky, and the soles of his shoes are uneven.

This was a lot of fun to sew! He looks so high-class.

I'm debating on signing up for this one. We'll see how the week shapes up, and I may sneak in before the deadline if things are looking good.

My Entry:

I wanted something fun, flirty and sassy to suit the personality of Sookie, my CP Luts Delf Juri 2006. The dress is Thai silk taffeta with a lined fitted corset style bodice with a drop waist and a short puffle (puffy ruffle) skirt. It closes in the back with a zipper.

I knitted the arm warmers for this outfit with black embroidery thread. I also made the snowflake obsidian necklace, but prior to this challenge. It was borrowed for this occasion from one of my other dolls. The boots, fishnet tights and wig were not made by me, just selected and/or purchased for the outfit.

Since I ran out of time and daylight, the photos had to be taken with flash, so my usual photographic fail becomes epic fail with flash, sorry. Anyhoo, for what it's worth, here it is:

Glamour Shot:



My dress was designed with movement on the runway in mind. The gown was mostly machine sewn out of two colors of a very pretty type of chiffon. I wanted a neutral color for the body of the gown and chose the silvery gray to match my model's face-up. The bodice was hand-pleated and the gown is fully lined. I added a slit on the left side to mid thigh under the burgundy drape to provide a glimpse of my model's leg as she walks to add a bit of sexiness, while still being age appropriate (my model is 15). The drape is attached at the waist on the front with a decorative button to provide some extra glitz. It's also attached at the shoulder and allowed to hang free in the back for extra movement. I made the shoes out of sculpey, metallic ribbon, and silver acrylic paint and added a matching ribbon in my model's hair to complete the look.

I wish that I could participate in this challenge! I WILL be stalking it all month though!!!

 

As a few of you may have noticed, I've been fairly quiet the last couple weeks. I am not quitting BJD Project Runway by any means; however, I am currently in the middle of a out-of-state move. I will be scarce for the bulk of this challenge month, so please refer all questions to the wonderful Elfmoon (and please give her lots of love for taking on the whole contest for awhile--she's amazing!). I will be back in time to judge our most exciting challenge, if not sooner, barring unforeseen and unfortunate circumstances. Thank you all for your patience and Make It Work!

 

I've actually got one design all done. Just got to capture it on a photo. It's sadly not as shiny as one might expect.

 

Wow, Teadesu! You finished already?
Anyway, here's my inspiration!


I have my idea sketched out and I've started drafting my patterns. I'm just hoping I can finish juggling with school!

 

Yeah, it's well..

Inspired by this:

So you can see, it doesnt quite give the glitter feel. I do hope it is elegant and high fashion enough XD

 

The design I'm working on was inspired by Greek goddesses specifically Aphrodite and Athena, here are the pictures I'm drawing from.

 

Lovely inspirations! Prosaically, I am being inspired/directed by the yarn I'm using, which is actually rayon and metallic crochet thread and difficult (for me) to handle. I'm also inspired by the spring trend of corals and pinks, which I find fresh and happy-making. I'm shooting for a simple silhouette that I hope will be both rich and light ... youthful glam.

 

my inspiration is in my head....it's a dress that I thought up a while ago but never made (didn't have a reason)......i can't wait to start it.

 

I have the basic silhouette planned, but I'm still trying to work out the detail for the bodice. I bought my fabrics and notions last weekend and expect to start the sewing in the next few days. I'm going to try a few things outside my comfort zone - setting a zipper (because it's the only way I can get the silhouette right), incorporating bling (to add the glitz and glamour), and trying to construct shoes out of sculpy (my girl has no appropriate shoes). We'll see how these things come together. The zipper scares me the most.

 

is it considered cheating to sew your doll into the clothes instead of making the working snaps / hooks for challenges? does it matter to anyone? was worrying about a gap problem with my design but, do not wanna be a cheater.

 

This puts me in mind of the maaaaany times different PR contestants have sewn/stapled/glued/taped their garments on their models. (The most recent that I can recall being Michael Costello using double-sided tape to keep his model from flashing the judges.)

I am starting a big do-over. This seems to be a trend with me. But since I don't sketch, I find myself relying on what the materials will (or will not) do to determine the shape of the garment.

(And kinda off topic, but I just have to brag ... a dear family friend is currently in NYC, doing hair at Fashion Week! Yesterday he called my mother from Mood and asked her if she wanted anything.)

 

got it! thank you for the help.

 

I ordered some fabric from Thailand over three weeks ago, but it hasn't arrived yet. If it doesn't arrive soon, I'll have to withdraw from this challenge.

 

Is it okay if footwear is age/ comfort level appropriate for the doll? My girl doesn't wear heels but has a cute pair of ballet flats that she can wear. Also are we allowed to photoshop footwear color?

 

I'm afraid I don't have fabrics suitable for anything but casual clothes, cotton prints and knits that are cute for doll clothes but not red carpet worthy; that's why I ordered the silks and planned the dress specifically for them. So, if they don't arrive soon, I'm sunk.

 

Yes, it arrived yesterday. One fabric is exactly what I wanted, but I'm rather disappointed in the color of the other one. I'm pondering what to do - use it, try to find a last minute replacement or redesign for one color.

 

Yay, kcurry9, that your fabric got there! Shades of Andy!

Guys, I am going to take a blowtorch to my garment. So, so frustrated. Seriously. If I ever think about using this rayon yarn again, slap me upside the head. It is like trying to knit with Teflon.

That said, I am starting all over again, and using lace-weight wool, so unless I turn into a speed knitter, I am gonna need that extension.
