    I have sent you copious amounts of emails. I hope you'll make your way through them in due time.

    I love the sketches, and I love sketches in general. They are very fascinating. Do you know how to make shoes?

    Now that would be fabulous, making ones own heels.

  3. You know, Princess, I just wanted to say that your design sketches are fantastic! I was looking at them in this post and previous post and thought, which designer made these? Turns out, there were Palais de Staf originals! Very nice! I was particularly impressed with the Wintergreen Wonderland one.

    You certainly have talent! And I'm sure you're going to reach your design and creative goals! Looking forward to the ball!

  6. Dear Pete,

    Thanks for your emails
    Thankyou for your comments re my sketches, unfortunately the course does not include shoe making in itself but just basic introductions to types of shoes as accessories to garments and outfits that we design and then make. But i must say that i am fascinated by how shoes are constructed let alone balancing in heels...

  7. Thankyou Eros ,
    Your comments are Much appreciated
    I have 2 more designs to post Prior to the compo... so stay tuned :)

    One of which eventuated into the real thing for a client, thousands of seed beads hand sewn onto the garment, following the pattern of the "Couched Cornelli Work" Giving the fabric a 3D effect on the Burgandy coloured silk taffeta fabric. The bead work was done on the bodice and down the entire length of the skirt front. You will get a better idea when I post the pic hopefully.

    all the designs included samples of fabric that i would use, zips threads, linings, embellishments, and internal construction ingredients for the bustierre/bodice, all quite involved and time consuming..
    But also very rewarding and lots of fun to create...

    Two of my colleagues from the course made the Frocks for her Bridesmaids and My client wore her frock as her going away outfit on her wedding day!
    Unfortunately i did not get a photo of her wearing it :(
