Wahoo! This dress came back from the supplier today - it's my print! I don't think I have been that excited for a while! Although there are some amendments to the garment shape, and possibly the fabric that will take the print, this is basically what the finished dress will look like. I'm so proud - my first retail garment!
Front
Dress has little layers along the skirt along with a waist tie
Back
Small buttons run down the centre back
This next dress also came back today and includes my lipstick print. Again, the garment needs a few small tweaks, I believe the waistband is too low and the neckline too high. This front view shows a front zip detailing, red jersey contrast banding and an open back. Skirt part also features pockets in the side seams.
These following images are of my fair-isle knitwear samples. These I am most proud of so far, I feel. I love the squirrels and acorns, the red birds and the kissing deer. All nestled up nicely with snowflakes and Christmas trees!
The images above and below show close ups of my samples. I really love the detailed snowflakes. I believe these designs are going on a number of knitwear pieces - I want a scarf! Luckily these samples are not wool either (I have an allergy) so I am hoping that the finished garments won't be either!

This next image is some freelance work I completed for ASOS after my placement. This is a vintage rose intarsia knitwear design. The sides include big open sleeves for a very boxy look. The black around the edges will be a thick black rib to contrast with the main design. I am quite pleased with this as I think it has successfully kept it's vintage appeal, however I am still no too convinced by the background, I feel it dominates too much.
These images are hand-drawn rope illustrations which are going to be used as a print for an oversized Tshirt dress. I haven't completed much hand drawing recently so I was incredibly pleased with how these have tuned out. It has inspired me to do a few more hand drawn designs, for my own portfolio.
A close up to show the detailing, next to and image of the whole garment with placement print. I love how oversized this print is. This is a smaller version too, my initial idea had a tassel on it that was about twice the size of the ones here.
Just as a quick note I would like to point out that I did not design these garment shapes. They were designed by the skilled hands of Christine Fallon, a Womenswear Designer. My designs are the prints and patterns - just thought you should know!
