Lilian

               Well Hello again! This is Lilian and she is what I like to call the ballerina dress. This dress is what my heart were to look like if it exploded. Lilian is short sassy and fun. I'm obsessed with this mauve purple. I love how unique and spontaneous Lilian is, and I just ran with what came to my mind.

          I was inspired by ballet. When you see the beautiful ballets you see not only the beautiful scenery you also see the beautiful head turning costumes. Over the years since ballet was introduced the costumes have evolved from long tutus which covered the knees to shorter and shorter skirts so the ballerinas could show off their fancy foot work. I was inspired by the short  length tutu's because I thought it was beautiful and unique, plus, short dresses are now in trend as well as the tutu skirt. I can't tell you how many times I wanted to by a gorgeous tutu skirt at the stores because the whole ballerina look is whats hot now. Ballet has inspired many fashion designers from the bead work, to the tulle skirt, and the traditional ballet flat that has never gone out of trend. Ballet fashion is it this year and will always be a fashion statement for years to go on. I gave Lilian a beaded bodice because when you think of a ballerina costume you think of the glitz and glamour. remember dimonds are a girls  best friend ! This dress would look amazing on any woman who wears it. It will make you feel trendy and feminine. I used the mauve color for this dress because I wanted something different, I wanted to go a different direction in fashion. I wanted to bring the lilacs and the mauves and the plum purples back. Not that they ever left but I felt like I wanted to see more of it.

         A little old saying goes, "Dancing is an art. The floor is my canvas. And I am the brush. And whatever I create comes from the heart." I use my work in mulitple different ways and I allow my pieces to be influenced by everything around me. Like dancing this is my art and it truely comes from the heart. Let your heart take you in the direction that you were meant to be, let your heart guide you to what inspires you and gives you brilliant ideas. Dancing isn't the only art, art is in everything your heart desires. Let your heart explode and let your creations and passions come from within. Do what makes you happy and you will live a happy life.
