I have also been making money for the fashion show myself by selling cakes.



I have made coffee and walnut cupcakes and large carrot cakes.
We made some t-shirts to sell to raise money for the fashion show.










This is the second dress in final fabric all I need to do is make the waspie corset to go with it.
This is the second toile I have made and it will be made from a stretchy purple velvet and will have a black waspie corset with it.
This is the first dress finished in final fabric all that is left to do with this dress is hem the outer layer when it has been fitted to the model.
This is my first toile and it is the dress made from the skull and roses fabric.

I have also thought about styling for the catwalk and i looked through magazines and saw this and liked the idea of it. I have looked for different lace to put over the models eyes to walk down the catwalk and I like the modal in the last picture holding the rose so i will consider have them holding a rose when they walk down the catwalk.
                                                      This is black netting.

                                                     This is a black spider web net fabric.

                                                     This is a purple spider web net fabric.


I am going to choose one of these fabrics for the train on one of my dresses and i am most likely going to use the purple spider net as i am using purple velvet and it will tie my collection together.
This is black satin and i will use this for 2 of my dresses.
This is the black velvet I will use for one of my dresses.
This is the purple velvet I am going to use on 2 of my dresses.
This is one of my final fabrics and I will use this to make and dress and then a bow for another dress.





This is my final collection.

I have done more research into the goth culture and also some research into corsetry as i would like to create some corset style dresses. I have done 60 gothic designs with help from my research and have picked my final 6 for my collection. I have also picked my fabrics, i will use black and purple velvet, black satin, some black skull printed cotton and some netting. I will also use some velvet ribbon to fasten some of my dresses and they are also a design feature. I have also thought about styling the models for the fashion show and i am going to make some velvet ribbon chokers with a gothic charm attached and also have black lace over the models eyes. I presented all this at college.
