My Tasselled Dress- from design to garment

The other week I had an interview for a scholarship - specialising in fashion design. So I thought instead of just showing up with a 2D portfolio of my work, why not create a bang!! So I decided to showcase my potential by making my OWN interview dress. The dress is the design on the left, and i have tailored it exactly to my body (using the mannequin behind to create darts). I then cut a total of 100 tassels (over 1m each - my hand HURT like hell after) to sew separately by hand onto my dress, to enhance the contours of the body. And with that, I was finished! So do you like?? Let me know . . .
