Well after some trouble uploading pictures straight onto Blogger I've managed to get back on to a roll again by uploading the photos straight onto Picasa. So if anyone else has problems uploading images I suggest to try your account on there. But anyhoo lets get back on topic...
I totally forgot all about this garment until we stared back at uni and had to pick up our work. This garment was another that was designed for a class last year, Fashion Theory. I should mention that we were aloud to be as experimental as we like, hence I went with this idea... For my research I looked into the news topics that were current at the time and came across the story of a woman from Taiwan who was marrying herself due to pressure by society.
Here is a link from the BBC website for the whole story...
This story got me thinking. If she doesn't need a husband? Does she need the traditional wedding dress? I began looking at wedding dresses and groom's tuxedos then that filtered into casual everyday wear. Considering in someways marriage is taken less seriously now a days than it once was say 50 years ago my idea was to merge elements of a wedding dress, tuxedo and casual wear to create a garment that is meant for the huge occasion in some one's life but for it not be taken so seriously. And here it is...
