I've just been sent some contributor guidelines with a view of having some projects (smocking) published. I sent a photo of my School Photo Dress through to the editor of this magazine and she asked if I'd like to contribute any other ideas.
I'm only at the design stage at the moment and she is expecting things using denim. I'm using my original Italian smocking designs (which took weeks to put together) but I am unsure as to what to make them into.
I am not allowed to use commercial patterns and they must be original in design because of laws etc and I have to ask permission to use anything that isn't my own (well of course).
Would you have any suggestions apart from shirts and dresses please? What would you use denim for? I'm planning to use light weight denim. Could you see a bubble dress in light denim???
Your thoughts are more welcome.
