The Mad Tea Party Frock

So my friend Anna http://dotdotdotwithenvy.blogspot.com/ and I came across this competition a few weeks ago 'Art U Wear' sponsored
The theme: 'Alice in Wonderland'
The theme was perfect for Anna as her final collection is inspired by the children's fairytale 'Through the Looking Glass'.
As for me...well I just love 'Alice in Wonderland' especially the new Tim Burton take on it. I have always tried to enter things I create into competitions. It is always good experience and exposure plus it is something fun to do and the prizes are always good ;-) It is also very rewarding to have your designs seen and recognised. So I immediately starting to think of the dress I made last year for womenswear and how I could add to it and interpret it as 'Alice in Wonderland' inspired. I really didn't have the time to make gloves, mini top hat fascinator and skivvy but did it anyway. It was fun to do and really happy with how it turned out. My friend Eleisha modelled it for me in the perfect setting of my friends beautiful garden.

Now fingers crossed
I could really do with $3000 to help pay for my collection
