Modeling and Samples

Usually when I have new items to photo, I use Quinn, which is OK for most product shots, but sometimes it's nice to have a real, live, breathing model. I was able to have one on the weekend when I finished this new sample outfit and actually went to a little girl for her birthday. The model was fantastic. She is a natural! Most of the poses she came up with herself, which made it real easy to photograph.

I am quite happy with how the pieces turned out and the fabric I used was great. The
skirt, which is a slight A-line design with a flat front and elastic back is made with a denim weight cotton with white and pink stripes and the peasant top is a lightweight gauze material.
I didn't have quite enough width for the skirt so I had to add in a panel piece. I didn't want to show the seams so I camouflaged it with rick rack. To the admirer it is just a decorative element. To the designer a design element to the problem.Look for this skirt in different fabrics and variations of the top coming soon!
