The Black Swan! :)

Beofre our Christmas Break, we had our Transition Year Fashion Show and for the past three months we have been working on our outfit! Each group was given a colour scheme, we were given black and white so we decided to base our design on the theme of the movie The Black Swan! The Black Swan is set on the famous ballet "Swan Lake" which consists of a white swan "Odete" who turns evil and turns black! We combined these two swans to make our piece! We created a simple black feathered one-shouldered top which we dyed, sewed and fitted onto our model and then we put more emphasis on to the skirt. We wanted a tutu styled skirt but a contemporary feel to it! So we used the top of the jeans as the high-wasited part of our skirt and sewed on multiple layers of black and white netting onto it! We also dyed the legs of the jeans black and sewed them into gloves :) After weeks of being the underdogs of the home-ec class we actually put in lots of effort into the last week and we came second in the end! :O Well done to the Moulin Rouge group who won you were fab!

- Sorry for the late post! But I promise will talk soon <3
