Ever since childhood, I have been fascinated by the film and story “The Wizard of Oz,” and more specifically the magical city that Dorothy and her friends travel to: The Emerald City. I created an Emerald Dress, with an accentuated neckline with emerald gems. To make the dress more gown-like and versatile, I added a train. This dress portrays my perspective of a dress worn in the Emerald City.

This silver and black brocade dress is perfect for the evening and with its pockets and slit down the front, it's more fun and less stuffy than a traditional cocktail dress. The theme of this dress is "Shine Bright Like A Diamond" because of its sharp edges and shimmery pattern. 

This starry night midnight blue multi-layered evening gown is designed to enchant the eye and evoke memories of your most perfect and glamorous night.

My dress, Tea Party, is inspired by the well-loved tale, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll. I was inspired to use a soft blue fabric and lace for the dress, as portrayed in the animated film version of the story, to accentuate Alice's innocence. However, in order to make the design more edgy, I gave the dress a more modern neckline and shorter sleeves. I believe this dress, true to its name, is suitable for all Tea Parties, including those hosted by Mad Hatters.
