Whilst searching through the storage shed the other day on a quest to find our old Play Station 2 and DDR games in an effort to be more active, I found a childhood sketch pad and numerous fashion sketches -though not even close to all of them. Unfortunately they look like they’ve had some water damage and the marker from that teal ruffle skirt bled through all of them, but if you click to enlarge, you can see full detail.
These make me giggle. I remember drawing most of them, the thought that went into them and the fact that I labeled them “Summer”, “Winter”, and more specifically, “Night/Winter”. I thought they were quite thorough as far as matching coats and accessories and of course, a wedding gown and prom dress.
I don’t need to be reminded that I’ve been into fashion since well before these drawings but it’s interesting to me where certain life choices have led me. I think if life has taught me anything in my 33 years it’s that when you are passionate about something it will find its way back into your life because that’s what makes you happy. No matter how long it takes.
Thanks for allowing me to indulge my passion 😉

LOL, I was a child fashion designer, too! From 5th-10th grades I filled up notebook after notebook with my “designs”. I usually stuck with prom dresses and wedding gowns. Classmates thought I was weird for having tons of pages of “models” in gowns, but I loved drawing them. I never became a designer, though 🙁 Unless you count my kids’ homemade Halloween costumes, which are awesome, btw 😉
Love the sketches!
Patty Ann
umm, my wedding dress looks like one of your sketches…i’m wearing it in dec.

I hope these sketches find their way to a proper framing attire.
Catalog all in an album of plastic sleeves, and frame the best.
This is the history of your natural aesthetic eye. Do your Self justice.
