My newest hobby--Fashion design.

I have recently begun the hobby of fashion design. I have about ten outfits designed so far, all of which are all woman's-wear, as this is easier for me to create right now, but I would love to be able to get into men's-wear, as currently this is lacking any sort if artistic design or visual interest. Woman have so many more options in their clothing choices than men do. I find what I draw, is what I wish more woman dressed like. It is a reflection of what I try to achieve in my own outfits, only changed into woman's clothing. My style is one that combines classic design with distinct and current trends in a fresh modern way. For my designs I love using the puff-sleeve and high-waisted pencil skirts. The bit of ruffle at the hem is something I came up with and I feel the off-set buttons add subtle visual interest. The bias cut fabric is perfect for a pencil skirt which needs to be fitted, but stretch just enough to allow for easy walking (haha, I am acting as if I have worn before, which I have not). As usual, I could not allow myself to consider creating a skirt that went below the knee-cap. I will put some more designs up as I create them. Some are good, some are bad and some are just plain fantastic.
