Hi,
Here just a few of the outfits worn today at the royal wedding by some of the family and Celeb guests.
I loved PIPPA MIDDLETON's dress .She wore a figure-hugging Alexander McQueen dress which was created by Sarah Burton the Creative Director of the fashion house and is a heavy, ivory based crepe with a cowl front and the same button detail and lace trims as the bride's.
AUTUMN KELLY and ZARA were keeping warm yet stylish in muted lilac and grey dress coats which i think looked lovely and i loved the Bow detailing on the back of ZARA'S Coat dress.
AUTUMN'S fascinator was lovely and i really liked the flowers and the colour and ZARA'S hat was really nice with the flower decor under the hat.
I really don't want to critasize anything to do with this great wedding but i have to with these two. PRINCESSES BEATRICE wore a Valentino couture number and Philip Treacy hat. I really hated this hat and didn't like the way the bow was on the front of her head in a stiff ' moose antler' way. It would have looked better if it was lower and placed more on the side of her head not right at the front.
And PRINCESS EUGENIE wore a ruffled style pundits' feathers with a royal blue and floral number by Vivienne Westwood. which i also didn't like much.
But thats just my opinion.
Mother of the bride CAROLE MIDDLETON looked elegant in a powder-blue Catherine Walker number and hat by Berkshire milliner Jane Corbett. I think she looked lovely and made sure she didn't out do the bride at all but still looks great!
THE QUEEN looked really nice in a lemon yellow Angela Kelly Dress and Matching hat.
Camilla wore a hand-embroidered dress by Anna Valentine, a Philip Treacy hat and Jimmy Choo shoes. I really liked what camilla was wearing suprisingly as i thought the colours were nice shades and her hat was very nice indeed.
Well... This next whole outfit is a mess lol and i wont even apologizes for slagging this women off as i think her outfit and nose were hideous. (maybe a little harsh) TARA PALMER TOMKINSON wore a royal blue Deborah Milner Dress , Phillip Treacy Hat and Nicholas Kirkwood heels. The Dress itself was actually quite nice but the gloves were awful and not elegant looking which clashed with her dress and heals and the hat just looked like something out of avatar connected to her nose. Not my Favorite Phillip Treacy hat at all!
After all that slagging we need a nice outfit to comment on...
Next is the lovely JOSS STONE. She wore a beautiful coral dress, heals and clutch which i personally LOVE! And some people are saying her hat looked as if she lent it from her gran but i think its lovely and not too over powering with the bright coral dress and matching heels.
DAVID CAMERON'S wife SAMANTHA CAMERON looked great in a this Burberry dress which is stunning and teal is a perfect colour for her.
DAVID and VICTORIA BECKHAM Really smart. VICTORIA opting for a dark navy, custom-made dress from her own collection.The loose shift dress was a world away from her usual ultra-fitted and fabulous look which i must say i do prefer but as she is pregnant i still think she should have maybe showed her bump off not hidden it. She still looked great though as always ,She finished the look with Christian Louboutin heels and a Philip Treacy couture fascinator, but she looked surprisingly nervous.
DAVID BECKHAM looked very smart in Ralph Lauren, accessorising with a Philip Treacy topper and his OBE.
Lastly we have CHELSY DAVY's look stunning in this Alberta Ferretti outfit with Victoria Grant fascinator. I really liked CHELSY's outfit altogether as i think it was a lush colour and super fitting for this April wedding!
And Thats it, My opinion on some of the Royal Wedding guests outfits. Mostly everyone looked great and there were many many fascinators that i LOVED which i would have liked to have shared with you but unfortunately i didn't know all the names of the guests.
What was your favorite outfit from the wedding guests today and what was your worst?

Awww today was The Royal Wedding of William and Kate and it was fantastic!
I watched the whole thing with my boyfriend Craig and we did really enjoy the whole coverage.
William and Harry looked really smart. William looked very calm and happy but Craig and i were a little worried about harry as he seamed to be swaying a little at the ceremony lol, we thought he may faint with nerves but thank god he didn't :)
Now onto Kate's dress...
WELL what can i say ,
I absolutely loved it!
What a lovely shape to show off her great figure and the lace ooohhhh i loved it! Kate wore a stunning ivory gown with lace appliquéd floral detail designed by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen.
I cant say enough good things about todays event as it was all absolutely lovely!
I have to admit i cried when Kate walked up the isle and Will said to her ' you look absolutely beautiful , i love you ! '
awwww so cute!

And the kiss on the balcony was lovely especially with the pair of them giggling afterwards, so cute!
I hope you all enjoyed the royal wedding as much as we did :)
Thanks for reading,

Hellooo,
And finally here is my 4th Uni project the final project untill i start my final major project on the 3rd of may.
We had to design and make a garment which has been inspired by a sci-fi film. I researched sci-fi films and there are tones obviously but i really wanted to make a dress out of Black Bin Bags lol so i checked if Batman was a sci-fi film and it was YAY! :)
I made a halter neck cross over bodice dress with a tulip/bubble skirt and it had one bat wing on the right side of the dress inkeeping with the batman theme,
I really like how this dress looks and was chuffed when the wing went exactly how i imagined it ^_^
Hope you like it ,

Hey ,
Here are a few photos of my 2nd Uni project called 'Higgledey Piggledey' . We had to design
and make a garment completely out of old/recycled clothes/materials.
Ive mentioned this project before but here are the non grainy photo's.
I chose to laminated pages from an old recycled book and make material so that i could then sew a dress out of it and add a bubble wrap shoulder and tutu skirt.
Hope you like it!

Hey girlie's,
Today was my first photo shoot in Uni and Here are a few of my non professional photographs of my dress that i made. It had to be made entirely out of recycled materials or unloved old clothes.
My dress is made from an old reading book which i have laminated to make a nice shiny material and added recycled bubble wrap as a tutu skirt and one shoulder over the arm.
The dress is a tulip style evening dress and I'm really pleased with how it looked overall and how the photo's turned out.
As ive said above these are the unprofessional ones the pro ones are coming soon as i have to pick them up Friday :) x so ill post as soon as ive got them :D x
Big Thanks to Lauren my model, For helping me out!
Hope you like it!

After making my balloon dress and handing in all my coursework i was bored on the weekend therefore i went hunting around my house to find materials and found an old duvet cover which had been loaned to me ( don't worry i checked i could cut it up before i did lol ). I decided to make a shirred strapless bodice out of the satin top part of the duvet and the midriff section out of the satin, then to make a gathered skirt out of the patterned part of the duvet cover. i also decided after i had assembled the bodice midriff and skirt that i wanted to add some decoration. i used the patterned part of the cover to make the flowers and the satin to make the leaves. I'm really pleased at the out come as its only my second dress and I've improved so much with my making, without assistance. i was also chuffed with the narrow hem on the bottom of the skirt.
its a little old fashioned i know but at least I'm learning more and more every time i make a new dress.
hope you like x

this is my textiles final project. i had to design and make a product inspired by art deco. i chose this glamorous art deco style dress and made it my own design by adding de-inflated balloons to the bodice. I'm really happy with the final out come of the dress and hope to carry my dress making on into my future studies.
