This weeks topic is Flounce and Ruffles. In Pattern making we converted a straight skirt into a straight skirt with a flounce. In Draping we added a Flounce at the hem of our Shift Dress. And in Sewing Techniques we constructed an In Seam Ruffle sample.

Shortly we will be designing and constructing garments in class. List 4 to 6 ways that you can incorporate a flounce or a ruffle onto your original design ideas.

HOW HAS THE RECESSION AFFECTED THIS SEASONS FASHION WEEK?

Fashion at the 2009 Grammys

HIT:-)

MISS:-(

The music was hot but the clothing was even HOTTER!!!!!

Although I thought that Jennifer Hudson's white, gray, and black cocktail dress was too distracting, the black sequence gown she wore during her performance was very classy and sophisticated.

Congratulations on your Grammy Award Miss Hudson!!!!!

Students share your thoughts on the GrammyS Fashionista's that made your hit or miss list.
