Project 52/10

It's that time of the year again, ball season!!!!! I absolutely love ball season, and have already started working on my first custom gowns.  This combined with my pageant mania (I am now being called pageant mum, I'm not sure how to take that) caused me to create something a little more special.  I love this fabric and the simple detail of the white trim just adds something a little more to it.

As always this dress is available to purchase through facebook (tonight from 8pm) at below half price for a week before being listed on Etsy at full price.  As this is a one off, sale goes to first in! See facebook for more details.https://www.facebook.com/sarahhortondesign

Project 52/9

So this blog post is a week late.... my bad! I did however get the dress done last week and up on Facebook in time.  Have had a very busy couple of weeks, it just happens to be Miss World New Zealand on Saturday and I just happen to be sponsoring one of the amazing contestants, my friend Hannah Carson.  As well as creating her evening gowns, a cocktail dress and national costume we put on a charity fashion show and live auction last week, pics to come soon! Any who, back to the dress, this dress came about when trying out some different designs for a new collection, so keep an eye out on that one!

As this is a tad late I will keep the dress available until Sunday evening, check out Facebook for more details.

Project 52/8

This weeks dress was inspired by the beautiful weather we had over Easter, it was so refreshing to finally have a long weekend with sunshine!  The short sleeves have a split along the top and the cream sequin fabric adds a bit more glam to the simplistic style.  For the cooler weather that we will no doubt see again soon you can layer with stockings and a jacket,  I am a sucker for cream and black so this is a winning combo for me!

Project 52/7

This week I asked facebookers what they wanted to see in this weeks dress, the first to comment suggested red and something little came up a couple of times.  I had different ideas in my head over night and when I woke up this was the first thing I thought of.  I used 100% silk in this dress, whilst there are some great polyester fabrics now I still don't feel there is any comparison to silk.  The variations in texture of fabric and shade of red create a slight point of difference.
