The Dress- These were the best photos I could get of it on my own.
Artist Statement : If I'm being honest, the main reason I chose this project was just because I wanted to know if I could sew a dress without a pattern. Do I think this would have been up to 10 times better if I used one? Yes. But I'm proud of myself for doing it on my own nonetheless. I also probably spent more time on this than I needed to, although overall I'm happy with the outcome. I think the most difficult part was deciding to retroactively add a zipper because it turned out a little smaller than expected. If I could have redone this project, I would add more beading around the heart for sure. I think it looks a little bare, and I would change the red beads on the ends of the strands to teardrop shapes. ( I didn't have any at the time, but I might still do this).
I wish I could say that there's some kind of deep meaning behind this piece and the bleeding heart, but I'd rather leave it open to interpretation. I just thought it would look cool.
