Project 52/6

This weeks dress is another one of those effortless numbers that are perfect when you need to get ready in a rush (I seem to be eternally doing this) or when you are just having one of those days! I am slightly obsessed with brighter shades at the moment and this pop of colour on the top is great next to ones face, second obsession is nude tones, (I am aware how contradictory that is!) this obsession is not new but just so happens the two compliment each other, how handy!

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 52/5

This week with the wintery weather setting in I felt inclined to create something slightly more suited to the climate.  On a fabric shopping mission I saw this fabric which just screams winter to me and had to get it.  Team this with a cute jacket and boots for a winning winter ensemble or ditch the jacket and expose the cut out back when you are in a well heated environment.

Project 52/4

Dazzling

This week Emma Highfield and I have been working on a dance costume for our gorgeous friend and model Hannah Carson who is a contestant in Miss World New Zealand, something slightly different for me!  Whilst it was not as straight forward as I had imagined once we got to the bedazzling part it all came together and I must say it is pretty amazing.  So since then all I have wanted to do is bedazzle everything I can get my hands on! This weeks dress was no exception, inspired by the brightness of dance costumes I wanted to create something that was a bit more fun but still elegant.

Project 52/3

This week’s dress is what I wish I had in my wardrobe last weekend.  I spent crazy hours last week finishing off my new collection, so when it came to the weekends obligatory outings (leaving parties etc, you have to attend!) I really couldn’t be bothered trying to piece together the perfect ensemble! This dress was sadly in my head which made it even more challenging.  I love that it is comfortable and a bit fun but still elegant, and the neck detail means you don’t have to worry too much about jewellery.  Now if only I had made this last week!

Project 52/2

Gown Time

 

Watching the Oscars this week (oh my there were some beautiful gowns, and let’s be honest, some questionable decisions too) I felt I had to make something a little more glam!   I find I am often inspired by fabrics, and when searching through my collection of lace I found these wee bits of beautiful beaded lace and knew they had to be used!

This gown will be available to purchase through facebook from 8:30pm this evening, see facebook ( www.facebook.com/sarahhortondesign) for more details.

Lovely Ladies

So, first week of Project 52! 

With Auckland Cup Week just around the corner I have been doing a lot of work on outfits for the races.  I love that such occasions give us women a chance to really dress like ladies.  This inspired me to create something a little lady like.  

This one-off dress was available to purchase through facebook but you have to move fast these days! She sold within minutes.  Dress #2 will be up next Wednesday at 8:30pm, see facebook for more details.

Dreaming of Paris

Dreaming of Paris is a collection of made to measure gowns.  I was very lucky to work with such a talented team, special note has to go to the gorgeous Billie Holland who sadly left NZ the day after this shoot in the pursuit of overseas adventures and Saadi De Silva for pulling it all together.  So many pics from this shoot it was hard to pick just a few, so I added a few more. xx
