On the runway

Measurements had been taken, sewing had begun, trial fittings and adjustments made, so finally the day of the fashion show arrives!  Having never modelled before, I was naturally a little nervous but excited at the same time!  It was a little chaotic with all the other models in the dressing room with all of us changing, getting our hair and makeup done, but it was excited chaos.   I really loved the trouser jumpsuit that Ghislaine had made for me.  It was strapless but with sleeves for my arms and had tailored trousers.  I thought the whole outfit fitted my body well!  When wearing the purple jumpsuit I felt stylish, elegant and very womanly.  The deep purple against my skin along with the gold accessories felt very supportive on my body. I was the second model to walk down the catwalk.  It was nerve racking with all eyes on me as I walked, and I tried to walk at an even pace and not too quickly, although my shy side wanted me to do so!  However, I did it and I’m so glad I did!  The whole experience was a lot of fun.

This purple jumpsuit I made for Dionne is the perfect example of effective and impactful fabric chosen wisely. It was the right colour for her skin complexion and the crepe was the right type for the garment. I loved having the stylish Dionne on my catwalk and will be having again should the opportunity arise.   I am available for all your fabric and garment dilemma. Let me know how I can help.
