Description My entry for ~fashionGIRL18 's Fashion Contest.

OK... This is a first for me so give me a break and don't bust my chops!!!
and I suck at faces, hence the headless mannequin.

My original design and idea drawn in Photoshop CS4.

Edited June 22nd... OK folks there's a head now
Thanks to *Rezzan for volunteering
Obviously it's her avatar with a little photo-manipulation and not drawn in. I did say I wasn't good at drawing faces.

Thank you Sophie!

I was happy with the dress but to tell you the truth I was more satisfied with the marble walls background I made for this.

Something new for you, David? This is not the sort of image I am accustomed to seeing with your name. It is very good for a first attempt. Nice to see something different from you.

David-A-Wagner In reply to e-CJ [2009-06-23 20:11:14 +0000 UTC]

haha It is new for me here on DeviantART.
It's also my first attempt at fashion drawing with photoshop. However, I was raised to be self-sufficient. My parents taught all of us to cook and sew and never discouraged any of us from trying to do different things.
After my daughter was born I asked my wife to get me a sewing machine for Christmas. She did but constantly teased me, calling me Susie Homemaker. Interesting seeing how she can't even hand sew to mend a seam or replace a button. The first thing I actually made 100% was a costume for my daughter for her Catholic School's "Saints Day" procession. I used a pattern from Simplicity Crafts of biblical costumes and chose one based on Mary. After that my wife's tune changed completely all of a sudden it wasn't "Susie Homemaker" any more but "can you dart my pants", "can you fix the hem on my dress", "wow... you can make clothes for Kristin"

I know I have a photo of the costume somewhere, when I find it I'll scan and post it here.

You know there really aren't a lot of men who sew, but I have to say I have known a few. When you mentioned sewing a costume for your daughter it reminded me how much I used to love doing that. I made a big bird costume for my daughter one year using nothing but a childrens book, fabric scraps and colorful plastic bags. Well I made a few costumes and American Girl look alike dresses and all kinds of hand painted tee shirts for the little girl. The big girl did not want home made clothes anymore so I never got to make a prom dress. I still have a sewing room full of stuff that I hope someone will be able to use one day. The kid doesn't sew, but I have made so many clothes in my life I don't really mind the break.

I would love to see the photo of the costume. Note me when you find it. I am hopelessly behind. It is cool that you are doing something new and different at dA. Fashion is not such a bad thing to do. The best fashion designers in the world are almost always men. Go get 'em David!

YAY!!!! So are you gonna sew it mage? I'm sure you could make a pattern easily enough with your drawing and a few references I REALLY want a sewing Machine, what brand would you suggest?

David-A-Wagner In reply to unordinalwhimsey [2009-06-24 02:04:47 +0000 UTC]

hahaha No reason to sew it... just did the design for the contest. Besides, material costs a fortune these days. Now if I were a woman and had somewhere to wear an evening gown I might consider it rather than pay $200.00 or more for a store bought one.

I have a good Singer sewing machine and I've never had any complaints about it.

David-A-Wagner In reply to euphoricdesire [2009-06-22 19:31:55 +0000 UTC]

agreed!

I'm terrible at drawing faces and I've seen lots of headless mannequins in stores. Since it was a fashion entry I didn't think it would be a big deal.

euphoricdesire In reply to David-A-Wagner [2009-06-22 19:39:54 +0000 UTC]

I know. Draw a headless mannequin it's so much easier than draw a mannequin with a head.

beautiful pic Rezzan, I have seen enough of them to know what your hair color is.
I haven't acquired the skill or knowledge to do a decent photo-manipulation of hair texture and color. Did the best I could with this and I was only allowed one re-submission for the contest.
