Madelyn

  Madelyn, is the dress of opulence. I created her through a grand vision. She is inspired by so many objects, and ideas. I wanted her to be like a queen of nature. When I pictured a Madelyn in my mind she is the glamorous high class woman. She is the bold one who makes descions without impulse. Madelyn is full of joy, and happiness. I feel like if someone where to wear this dress all heads would be turning towards her. Madelyn is the life of the party. I feel like Madelyn provides some strong look to her. I wanted Madelyn to have tons of charm. I believe to see her as a dress with real charm, and there is nothing like her.

  Madelyn's inspirtation was wealth and royalty. I wanted something beyond over the top extreamly detailed and unique. I gave her purple roses throught the dress because you don't see purple roses in nature giving her some uniqueness. I wanted her to be rich in beauty and nauture. I saw her as a woodland nymph a delicate yet powerful creature. Think of Madelyn as the queen of the willies in the classic ballet Giselle. I was inspired by a powerful mythical creature, hence, the flowers and the roses and the grand ball gown. Madelyn contains a lilac colored belt because lilacs symbolize love, also it is one of my favorite colors. I love the softness it gives. I wanted Madelyn to be the classic dress everyone loves and can't get out of their head. Madelyn has layers of daisys because I wanted the dress to look like a flower as a whole and the layers of flowers and tulle give her a petal like look. The daisies are sign of innocence. Madelyn isn't reveling like the few dresses that I have created because I loved the idea of purity. If Madelyn was going to be like the queen of nature I wanted her to be like a pure untouched flower. Madelyn was also inspired by the Virgin Mary because she is the symbolism of grace and purity. I wanted Madelyn to be like the Virgin queen, delicate and graceful but still very powerful and important. Madelyn's inspiration came from the Roman myth of Vertumnus vs, Belides. The myth is a story of a man named Vertumnus falls for a small nymph named Belides. Vertumnus becomes obsessed with Belides, however, Belides does not take intrest in Vertumns so she turns herself into a feild of daisies to prevent herself from hurting Vertumnus's feelings. If Madelyn was an actual nymph I feel like she would be like Belides herself. She would avoid confrontation at all costs in order to keep the peace. Madelyn would do it in the most beautiful way too. Madelyn's layers are green because I wanted her nature vibe to show through. Green symbolizes wealth and growth. Madelyn is like the growth of nature, shes so natural and beautiful.

  Since Madelyn was inspired by royalty, I wanted to make you feel royal in your own way. You are your own queen or king. You are in control of your own life. I hope you continue to have pure thoughts, and be graceful. Being a king or queen to me means that you take charge in order to keep peace with others. You are bold in your own life. Anonymus says "Always wear an invisble crown." Even if you aren't an actual king or queen you can still do things in your own way and you can continue to be important gracfully. Take charge without being bossy or mean. Pretend that you have an invisable crown because you are significant. You are speical, and unique, you should always act like it.
