Hey guys! Introducing Esperanza. She is my favorite dress in the poisoned collection. There is something so magical and inspirational about this dress that I'm in love with. Without futher ado let's get started.
I was inspired by the Mardi Gras concept. I used the purple, green and gold colors in my favor. I was also playing with the renissance slash baroque look with the bodice by making it look almost like a corset. In 1718 New Orleans established these elegant society balls that became Mardi Gras. I wanted to capture some sort of elegance and class into Esperanza. By the late 1830's masks were brought into the beloved tradition. I know I didn't create a mask or thing like that but I love a good secret disguise. Going off topic if I could I would love to attend a masqarade ball. Who wouldn't right? However this is what I Pictured in my head if I were to attend such an event. I feel like it's such a jaw dropping dress that is perfect for something grand and elegant. In the 16th century corsets were a form of fashion that was a trend at the time. Women back in the day loved to wear corsets as outer wear because they flattered their body. It gave women the illusion of accentuating their tiny waist and pushing up their chest. When I think of something grand and elegant I pictured a 16th century bodice it's fun for this time. If I could go back in time and collect notes on fashion trends and marry them in different ways I would. I love tulle, a lot of my dresses incorperated tulle. I feel like it's the old ballerina in me who just loves tulle. It's just so girly and fun and truely dazzling. I wanted to ass some fun to Esperanza because if where going to a masked ball we are going to have fun. I added a fun little pattern with the beads to the top of the dress to give it something a little extra. We want to sparkle and shine and be the Belle of the ball. In Spanish Esperanza means to hope or desire something. I wanted this to be the name of the dress because it screamed desire to me, just picture cinderella she went to the ball in desires of one free night away from being her stepmothers slave. Everyone wants something out of life we all aspire to gain something where ever we go. We all have hope. I desire a degree and a job. I aspire for this because my biggest wish is to own a big beautiful home. I want a place of my own where I can go to and create memories. With little hope I will get it someday.
"At the end of the day, all you need is hope and strength.Hope that it will get better, and strength to hold on until it does." So readers I hope you all have hope in your someday or your maybes. Never lose your strength or your hopes and dreams. I really hope you get that nice car someday, or live in a serene place. I hope you make a difference in someone's life. I hope you get reconized as talented because yout are. I hope you get those kids you want someday.And I hope you age gracefully. My wish is that you get it all.
