So I came up with what I want to do, and I’ll tell you in a bit. My friend Tom who I work with the other day was telling me that way back in the Greek and Roman times people weren’t a genius as we would say today, but had a genius which was a spirit that would give them their idea and thus they got away with allot more because they could attribute their wild idea to another being. This interested me because this is mainly how I work, I don’t mull over things for days I just get an idea and run with it, they can pop up at any time and I don’t think that I can take full credit. This is where my idea comes in, I was thinking about the saying “waste not want not” and then for some reason I decided I wanted to re-make a wedding dress. Wedding dresses are a classic example of waste; they are very expensive, use heaps of fabric and are only worn for one day. So now I’m on the hunt for a second hand wedding dress to make into a new one. I think my design will be more practical though, I never got the whole poofy wedding dress look that screams bride, you can never wear it again so mine will be more understated. My own mother had a great wedding dress it was classic boned bodice to the waist with spaghetti straps and a circle cut skirt that fell to just below the knee. I would wear it today if it fit me which really says something seeing as the same could not be said for any of my auntie’s dresses.
