Here was a lil' interesting redesing project~

Me and my dearest fellow course mate Tauri got a request to both choose some used clothings from A&D boutique, redesign them into graduations dresses, give a lil' interview, share our thoughts about graduation fashion and all of it was published as an article in Tartu Postimees 30.May, virtually published 2.June.

You can read the article here~

Estonian only tho...
Or you could just check out Tauri's dress over there (the first pic, blue-green one)


Haaahhhh... Well. I don't even know where to start.
First of all, I'm flattered that all the feedback over there is negative. For both dresses. Just wow... Finally people (anonymously) telling me that I suck to the core, what I did should be burned on the stakes, the pink monstrum seen on this pic was fine as it was before and never should have been created. Thanks. Thanks a lot.

I appreciate it. A comment is a comment. Even a negative one is better than nothing. In wierd way I'm glad some people slam my head against the wall and remind that absolutely everything should be thought through before posting online. Especially in a local newspaper. (Btw, we had 2 days to make something out the dresses we got, between all our examinations)

I agree, the dress I got to rip apart didn't really need redesgning. I must say, I quite enjoyed cutting it in pices. Since it already was a pretty dress, then it was a wrong choise right from the start. Ofc I could not make it look better. I just did something different out of it.

And second, I dont really suggest to go buy your graduation dresses out of a second hand store. I mean, not to buy something with the aim, that you absolutely HAVE to redesing it into a graduation dress. It's always a better option to make a dress from scrach, from new unused materials, than use some worn-out leftovers someone has used for years.

...
I dont even know where I'm going with this.
Maybe I just need time for all of it to hit me.



But in the meantime, enjoy this deviously devious deviation~
