Victorian Schiaparelli-esque Obscene Dress ARGHHH
I am working on the flats for the Sweeney Todd-inspired " Never Forgive, Never Forget" collection for my final...
It's coming out TWISTED.
It's VERY Westwood-Moschino-Schiapparelli-Thomas Wylde- Chris March-cum Tripp Gothic Threads.... But seriously, that is like my style all the time.
I am doing a dress. A quite obscene Victorian dress...
See, I am taking elements from the movie.
In this case, Mrs. Lovett's Pie Shop.
I designed a very simple Victorian dress with a high neckline with a kick pleat inset that goes exactly from the seam at the lower hip/crotch to the bottom of the dress.
The body of the dress would be in this fabric... a sage/white toile...


And the kick micro-pleat inset that serves as an arrow to...the hooha is going to be in this fabric...
with a lace trim at the high neck and cuffs like such...
The REALLY obcene part of the dress is that I am adding to it a trompe-l'oeuil Victorian shop sign that goes from the shoulder( with the post) to the crotch ( bottom part of the sign). Kind of like this
Except the sign is elongated and goes from the collar to the pudendum and read's "Mrs Lovett's and then this...
and 's
On top of ... you guessed it... the area where "the pie" would be.....right on it.
It was a feat of engineering to figure out how to do it...
I am just guessing... is the base fabric too distracting from the trompe l'oeuil sing because it's a print?
Just wondering...
Here are photos of the front flat...
I aimed to make a play on Victorian sexual mores and on how you could take the most covered up Victorian dress and turn it into the most overtly sexual dress ever although laughing your ass off in the process.
And most designers NEVER think of calling attention to the most obviously sexual of parts in women... Men have codpieces and what not why are women not proud of their va-jay-jays or in this case, their pies....
