Sketch and fabric samples - voilá.
I'm not neat on paper without working hard on it, all my raw sketches look like this. A, who has an exceptionally neat and meticulous style of drawing with plenty of small, clear details, always mocks me for it, saying that my drawing look hairy. I say screw him and refer to my favourite comics artist Ulf Lundkvist, but I feel inferior too, just like when he pointed out that my singing voice is awful - not like I didn't already know that, but still. Well, well.
Anyway. The fabric samples are as close to how they actually look as I could get them, at least on my monitor; you know the drill. I will say that the satin is definitely a lighter pink than the dupioni in reality, a clear, bright hot pink with more of a faint yellow undertone than the red undertone this photo shows, but the colour of the dupioni is pretty close to how it actually looks.
I had another idea, by the way, but I'm pretty sure it's not a good one; beige dress, close to my skin tone, with hot pink lining in the bustle. I can't quite picture it, and I honestly have no idea how I would look in a beige dress, while I do know that hot pink works on me.
Am also considering lining the bustle with bright red if I make the dress out of the hot pink dupioni - that would be a great colour clash, and it's the kind of garish, awkward colour combination that appeals to me.
