Fashion Union: Botanical Print Dress

Dress Motel Rocks from Fashion Union / Jewellery Temporary:Secretary

Last week, I mentioned that I am a guest blogger for a fashion brand called Fashion Union and my first blog post is now live on their blog. I don't usually give suggestions for what to wear with an outfit other than what jewellery or shoes I'm wearing myself, so I thought I would give this a go when I was browsing through Fashion Union's website in attempt to recommend a day time and evening look (as seen below). I love florals but I don't own many dresses with such a sharp print as this and it reminds me of Mary Katrantzou's collection (especially the one she did for TopShop).

I really like putting these images together for the Fashion Union article and I don't think I have done anything like that before. It makes me wish that I did a graphics outcome for my final year at uni. We were allowed to choose a graphics, surface pattern/textiles print or a fashion based project. Some people produced amazing fashion magazines, some took beautiful photography and artwork to produce a book. As I thought I was better at sewing than I was at graphics, I chose the fashion pathway straight away. I didn't enjoy this at all, and I actually hated designing and making the six garments for the collection. I wasn't very confident with graphics back then and lacked imagination but I have improved since I've graduated as I've had to do it as part of my job. Anyway! Hope you like the looks I have put together! x
