Every time I think I have an idea... I modify it along the way!

It's true! Every time I have an idea or a design in my head I feel so confident about it, but the moment it goes from paper to pattern cutting I just immediately start over thinking about ways I could improve or other things I could do, even just slight modifications! It drives me mad, it's like a disease, designer disease... I doubt they have a proper name for it but I'm sure Coco Chanel was diagnosed with something similar along the way. I know it's not overly professional changing your idea slightly along the manufacturing process but when time and patients aren't on your side, beggars can't be choosers! And no one is in a position to be picky with me at the moment because if I receive one more piece of distressing news with college I have a feeling I may explode. This isn't as much a dig at college as I totally understand everyone is under an immense amount of stress but me being me have decided that this week, the busiest most stressful week of the year would be the PERFECT time to quit smoking... Stupid I know, but hey, if I can cope without them now, I can cope without them through anything.

Anyway, my modification to my design is slightly more Androgynous than Anarchist which is no bad thing I'm just disappointed I fell back to far to be able to pursue with my original plan, BUT better to learn now than loose later!

I've kept the concept of my dress, over sized and punk looking with the two pieces being separate but now instead of large safety pins and curtain eyelets holding the two together, I'm using good old fashioned braces! A staple to any Androgyny chic...

The design is not as predictable than what you would expect, for example the braces with be warn underneath the T.Shirt and not above and will there for not take away any attention or detail from the T.Shirt.

I would like to point out that the dress is not the above, this is my toile! However, I do love how the braces look underneath the stripes...Coming soon in my local area shall be me probably pairing the above with skinny jeans and Dr.Martins instead of the table cloth you see hanging along side them.
