And last but not least... Alexandra, Annie, and Caroline!

Alexandra


Fun, wild, and positively PINK, the Ultimate Party Dress will surely be a head turner, wherever you go. The matching shoes, however, are really the star of the show. Jam packed with attitude and glamour, they take cues from stage costume -- only better. Like the perfect pink lemonade -- with extra flavor. Wherever you wear them, you'll be a star.

Annie




On a hot summer day with the sun beating down and you feel like you are inside a volcano. In this skirt and shirt it is as if you get sprayed with gallons of water. Soft, colorful, and pretty, this style shows everyone that you make it work. You are like water running in the desert, beautiful and free. So buy this, and don't let the heat stop you.


Caroline




The wind blows on the sea, moving the navy waves like leaping fish, the wind screaming. This ship is tossed, the captain screaming orders. In this dress, are you a sailor, scrambling with pulleys and levers? Or are you the sea, tossing and turning on the this dark blue starless night?

Serin, Jailyn, and Sidney!

Serin




Jailyn





Ever dreamed of an airplane in the sky?
Well right now you are an airplane soaring through clouds with rain.
Through that you are feeling blue with everything around you.
Here I come with my outfit named "Blue Paradise."


Sidney



In this dress you dream of roses. It's like you're in a garden.
When you wear this dress you're like the prettiest flower in the garden.
This garden is of black and red roses.
You will remember a banquet where the centerpiece was a vase of a dozen roses.

Next up: Alexandra, Annie, and Caroline!

Delaney, Bri, Lindsey, and Clara!

Delaney

In this dress you will smile.
It is functional and casual.
It is an everyday dress.


Bri

Struttin' down the sidewalk
wearing this one-of-akind black and white dress,
You're out with your friends for a night on the town.
People pass by in neon colors, blending into the neon signs
like tires into the pavement.
They can't help but stare. Who wouldn't?
You're rockin' black and white, walking like a black cat
hunting down it's prey.
So go on. Be different. Be eccentric. Be you.



Lindsey

In this dress you're going to have the best party of the year.
You're gonna have fun, you're gonna have the best night of your life everyone's going to be there,
and then suddenly once you walk in it gets everyone's attention!
Your dress will be the BEST!!!!!


Clara

It's a rainy day. Not the slightest bit of color can be seen for miles around, until...
You put on this dress. All of a sudden the day has life and color again.
Its soft, machine washable fabirc is ideal for any occasion.

Presenting: Elli, Elizabeth, Dez, and Alexis

Ellie



Walking along the sidewalk on a bright sunny day, you feel against your leg the soft fabric and remember a wonderful sensation of pleasure. Your self-esteem becomes greater as you strut down the street. this dress reminds you of Snow White and then you know it's the one.
but you have to remember, it's all about you.


Elizabeth

Night sky in rural France.
The owl hooting, the bonfire crackling. You walk through the untamed fields in France.
In this skirt you will imagine the snake unraveling out of the imperfectly woven basket.
But in this shirt you will envision a starry night sky.
The owl will hoot, the bonfire will crackle and you will walk through the untamed fields in France in these clothes.


Dez


In this outfit you will see me while the wind blows away from me.
You will see Michael Jackson.
I see me in this outfit, because of him and his style.


Alexis

Running through the muddy grass, I can feel the wind blow through my hair. Even though it's a cloudy day something bright always appears in my sight. As I run to try to find shelter I come across this amazing zebra.










The Nancy will take a few days' break, but next up will be: Delaney, Bri, Lindsey, and Clara!

The show!

First up... Jess, Hailey, Sarina, and Sydney (Tomorrow -- four more!)

Here are some photos of the pieces in progress, along with the story-poem each designer wrote to go along with her piece.
(If you have a photo of your finished piece -- do send it to me! That last hour when we were all lining up for the show, I must have been busy doing everything but taking pictures.)


Jess


Preppy schoolgirl meets stylish 80s meets edgy rocker in this original by Jess Flowers. With a classic trench coat, you're warm and cozy. But, note the yellow and white print on the bottom which really sets it apart from the rest. All adds to the 80s prepster look. What really makes this unique is the clunky, yet awesome, combat boots. They add just enough edge and rebelliousness to it, and are perfect for any girl.


Hailey

This outfit is best for strolling across town on a warm, sunny day going to the bakery.

As you walk in you smell many different kinds of cheesecake including your favorite… strawberry. You walk up to the glass case and see strawberry sauce, drizzled like stripes, on a slice of cheesecake.

(On the left: Hailey with our guest models.)


Sarina

In this dress, that Sarina Lavon designed and also what she is wearing, you will feel pleasure and that sometimes in life it isn't all about work and school, sometimes it's aall about Paryting! This dress is soft, smooth, silk blue, and adorable. Once you see it you will die for it!





Sydney


Snowy night.

Remember when you were young and on those cold winter nights you were laying on a cloud pillow?

Remember that wonderful fluffy feeling -- as soft as sheep's wool?

That is the feeling you will get while wearing this Snowy Night.

Snowy Night came through a robe -- so warm and comfy. That is also what you will feel when wearing a Snowy Night.

And we sewed.

By hand and by machine -- some of us for the first time!


K'sja, Caroline and Clara.

We sketched, we sprawled, we cut things up.


Bri thinks about how to make a dress into a skirt.
Sarina's ready to remake this blue dress.
Sidney cuts off a red frill.

(Thank you to Helma Groot for the suggestion of using masking tape to mark a cutting line!)
