airbrushed and edited image


here are my images before and after. i wanted to add more layers to the bottom of the dress as i liked the actual pose. i had to crop image to desired size, i then enhanced the colour. i copied and pasted the layers of fabric to create an ellusion of movement and fabric. i airbrushed her face and body to give a more prestine look. i think this image has turned out well considering i am not an expert on photoshop. I have used this as one of my final four images in my negociated project.






this is some of my pattern. i had to create a diary of my process eek by eek. the pattern for this dress as quite difficult. having to create so many sections. i eventually got there in the end and as so pleased ith my final out come. all the hard ork and stress paid off.
here is some of my inspiration boards . my inspiration is cros and bosy movement, i like ho the body can immitate a bird flying.


 this is research into coco chanel. although i have done previous research on her. this as essetial for my LBD project as she is the founder of it. my theme is eccentric elegance. and i ant my dress to be differenet yet beautifully elegant.
