Class critique time!
my other project
"Conceptual design"
includes
sewn up sketches
(no final garments)
Here is a quote (from a book I love with all my heart)
that I transformed
into the cycle of a birds life:
“The Bird is fighting its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Whoever wishes to be born must destroy the world. The bird is flying to God. ” from the novella Damian, by Hermann Hesse
full explanation of the project

Birth (just breaking primary boundaries)
teenager (known boundaries)
Adulthood
(Almost successful in escaping all boundaries toward freedom)
death (reaching freedom)

I just have to say the light blue dress is amazing times 4 and a half.
one of my favorite dresses I've seen in a while.
and the bird life cycle concept is so interesting.

Much props on looking so lovely while slaving away. I looked like a wreck all through college especially finals. How I adore the bird on the shoulder!

Amazing! My mother is a patternmaker and this makes me miss her.
The first dress you did is amazing! Good work!
fabulous! you're so creative, looks like you are studying the right thing!
The shell bustier is something I could wear everyday for the rest of my life. And you make headscarves look so chic.

also, can i model (steal) that dress you made? i do hope it's a petite. thanks.
yikes! i love dresses with scallops!
wow, you have been busy. that shell bustier looks very difficult to sew. i love the bird designs and the idea, you are a genius.
These are AMAZING, well worth the hard word I'd say!! So excited to see what you wear with them. I wish I had your sewing skills.
