My Style 101

I have never been artistic or creative enough to design clothes. so when I learned that our next blog would require us to create a design I flipped out. Luckily the class was also told that if you are not into the designing aspect of fashion you could describe what you would tell a designer if they were to create a look for yourself.
First of all I would tell my designer that I want to be comfortable and fashionable all in one. I do not like to feel constricted, so the deisgn has to be somewhat loose. Next I would express my desire for something that can go from day to night. Next I would specifiy that I want a dress. I love the 50's so an shift dress would be perfect. If not a shift dress and wrap dress. But I would let the designer look at my body and determine what shape would fit me. I think it is important for the designer to have some creative freedom. After all I would not ask them to design me somethng if I did not think they knew what looks good on a women's body.
I love staple colors so the designer would use fabric colors such as navy blues, greys, beiges, red, and blacks. My favorite color is white, but I am sure I would tell the designer to make a black dress, if not black then a navy blue.. For details on the dress, I love a ribbon or a bow. I love the preppy conservative look. So if it was a shift dress, maybe a plaid pattern or a piece of silk that wraps around my waist would make me very happy. The only part of my body that I absolutely love and would not change is my legs. So the designer would have to make the dress sexy, sophisticated, and conservative all in one.
I would also request a jacket. A tailored one that has a masculine influence. So that if i decided to wear the jacket with a pair of trousers I could.
