Somebody asked what college i finished- Its NCAD(National College of art and Design, in Ireland).
The fabrics as i mentioned -silk/chiffons, crepe, georgetts.(Sorry if not right spelling)
Thanks again for all your nice comments and wishes,and sorry for not replying earlier.I kinda finished college and thats it, not much fashion happening here in Ireland, so when i read all your comments, it gave me more believe in myself and motivation to look for opportunities.Thank you!

vmm2sew writes: I would love to know what type of fabric you used in this dress. I am trying to design a prom dress for my daughter and this is exactly the fabric I had in mind. This is a beautiful and feminine dress and exactly what a 17 year old whould like to wear. Could I have you make one for her?

CHL writes: At last a young designer who knows how to do PRETTY dresses. So many of our young talents try so hard to be "edgy," it's as if the art of making pretty,flattering, make-you-feel-special-and-glad-you're-a-woman clothes is getting lost. I echo the compliments of the others and applaud you for daring to buck the trend! I assume the textile treatments are yours, and I also applaud your delicate restraint! The fabrics look so delicate and ethereal I want to reach through the monitor and touch them. I bet they float when your models move! The result: beautiful! I also echo the others in encouraging you to post more!

Stinkerbell writes: Absolutely beautiful designs! I only wish we could see more of the dresses that you made. I love detail shots and close-ups mainly because during most fashion photo shoots, you just don't get to see the "real garment".

I also just graduated with my degree in apparel design. It'd be fun to swap stories!

kittyclover writes: I love all your creations. I would like to ask you to share what materials you used with the Salmon colored gown. It appears to be hand dyed and perhaps some crochet or lace on top? So soft and delicate, I am looking to make and design something with this affect. Thank you...
