Patterns


Two of the patterns were easy to make and didn't require much contorting to fit in with the way the fabric folded... And then there was this last one. I tried drawing it out, it looked terrible, I could barely get the detail in it clear let alone wrap it around her dress. Since the different hexagonal panels lined up strangely the leaves had to change every time to not overlap with a flower or bird.

This ended up being my solution, to trace it onto my monitor and make it tillable digitally.... It took longer than I'd like to admit but I'm happy with the result and I'll be able to use it again some time.



To be honest I really don't like using other people's patterns but I suck at creating my own and don’t find them that fun to make despite liking the look of them. This pattern is really heavily inspired by  the references I posted earlier but at least it's my own and not stolen from somewhere else.





Here's the same patterned but warped on Photoshop to fit the curve of the dress. I originally wanted the gems on it (the ovals) to stick up and be visible along the edge but the way the pattern sat didn't really do it that much in the end.
