I liked the hem of Morticia Adams' skirt, so I wanted to do my own.

Queer Fashion Show 2009 Rose Swirl Dress

Photographer: Michael Kusuda




Model: Lilia Sandoval
Photographer: Alex Zamora

This dress was inspired by a technique I used last year. I really liked the effect of just a giant ball of ruffles at the hem. I used wool and nylon felt and cut it in spiral circles and sewed it onto the skirt in various ways to create the rippling effect.

Queer Fashion Show 2009

This is the group photo from a photoshoot that Michael Kusuda took, who wasn't the photographer, but took a bunch of pretty outdoor photos that I will be posting gradually. Now that QFS is over I have time to work on clothes for myself and also this blog, and my website portfolio! For now, enjoy this picture. Just a note, a lot of the clothes were sewn by hand. The machine only helped for menial work.

Queer Fashion Show (Morphing Dress)

i
Hello! I haven't updated this this in a while. Right now I am grading math homework, but I got distracted. So above are two dresses for the Queer Fashion Show, which will be on Marth 6 and 7th of this month. The first dress is pleated silk and black craft felt (I'm using a lot of this felt!) which is actually supposed to be made from recycled plastic bottles. The second dress is also felt, I call it a morphing dress because it can be scrunched up, turned upside down, and worn in many different ways. I'm busy with the show, but after the show I should have some more detailed photos up. Yeah that's me in there, not a fan of being my own model but I needed photographs to get a grant to buy supplies for the show.
