I call this work “Dakota’s Dress” as I was inspired by the style of Dakota Fanning’s dressing and the gothic and vampirish looks, I wanted to come up with a dress that incorporated goth but yet could be worn by anyone, to a formal dinner or even by a celebrity to the red carpet. Hence, I designed this dress.
It is a dress with a corset-like bodice with boning in it made of black satin. As for the puff at the skirt, I was thinking of pieces of black organza crumpled together and sewed on top of the satin, creating that volume. I think that this dress is not to gothic and can be worn by anybody to a formal dinner. The recognizable shape would be a clipped poodle. There are contrasting textures - the satin and the crumple organza. The dress is symmetrical in shape.
I wanted to convey my vision that goth can be transited to a whole new level - with a sweet and feminine edge to it. With this dress, I feel that I am successful in conveying this vision.
