Description This is the first design in my "Fairy Tales & Folklore" collection that I'm doing for The DA Fashion Week .
(I will write a proper description of the collection in my journal later.)

The Little Red Riding Hood outfit consists of a red felt hood (lined in cotton), over-long red knitted wool scarf, a patterned, heavy cotton smock dress that would have buttons (little and red) down the back, white wool & cotton mix opaque tights and little black velvet mary-janes. The pocket on the smock dress has a gathered/elasticated edge.
There would be a white cotton slip under the smock dress.
_______

Technical bits:
This was done with a mix of markers, colouring pencils, gel pen and PhotoShop. The pattern on the dress is scanned from actual fabric and added onto the rest of the drawing in PhotoShop.

I've waited three days to find the right words to say how much i love this. And then you post another in the series
I still can't find the proper words, but find them absolutely brilliant. I would kill, or say nice things all day for these outfits
Plus: amen for you drawing skills. It gets nothing but smiles from me

Very cool! I love the idea! I love the sort of mod feeling she has. And the scarf is cute.

Can't wait to see the rest!

Actually, if you wouidn't mind, I'd love to hear some critique from you. I really value your opinion on this sort of stuff.
As I've said earlier, I haven't designed, and I mean properly designed, in ages and it would really help to get some feedback.

cjrogers1993 In reply to kittyvane [2007-02-08 21:06:51 +0000 UTC]

No problem! I would like to see some nice pants and coats from you.

And that's flatters me so very much.

kittyvane In reply to cjrogers1993 [2007-02-08 22:14:27 +0000 UTC]

Not sure there'll be any pants in this collection, but there'll be coats a plenty!

And you're very welcome.

I think separates could make the collection more diverse, but that's just me. And thank you again!

Tell you what, I'll think about adding some pants... but I won't promise anything.

kittyvane In reply to mythic-norms [2007-02-07 23:27:00 +0000 UTC]

It's nice to do 2D stuff again. It's been too long since I last grabbed a pencil and my drawing bits have gotten a bit rusty, so it's good to give them a little excersise every now and then. It feels so good to design again!

mythic-norms In reply to kittyvane [2007-02-08 13:34:39 +0000 UTC]

after I haven't drawn for awhile I always get nervous that I won't be able to do it anymore.
I'm always relieved once that first piece comes out intact.
yours was beautiful.

kittyvane In reply to mythic-norms [2007-02-08 13:42:59 +0000 UTC]

I get afraid of not being able to draw too, but apparently it's like falling off a bike, you never forget how it's done.

I really like the fabric too, I just wish I had more of it instead of a little piece. I'd love to make this dress for myself.

The legs are actually modelled after my own, bendy and bony, legs.

Fashion or Little Red Riding Hood?

LRRH is one of my all time favourite fairy tales.

kittyvane In reply to nifflheim [2007-02-07 22:47:54 +0000 UTC]

I want to make the dress for myself too, but I just have to find the right fabric though as the fabric I scanned for this was just a little piece.

I'm not sure whether my collection will get to be shown or not (only 15 collections get to be featured), but I'm giving it a go none the less!
It's been way too long since I last designed anything and this is the perfect opportunity to stretch my design muscles a bit. And I have to add, so far I'm really enjoying this!
