Lucid Dreams

My inspiration for my thesis gown is lucid dreaming. I came up with a design that has colors, crystals, and structure to show the dreamlike state of an altered reality. I used a royal blue mikado fabric for the body of the dress and pocket extensions. AB-coated light sapphire crystals are scattered across the entire gown. The lining of the pocket extensions has a navy silk organza layered on a sparkle mesh fabric to add dimension.

This image depicts the front view of a floor-length gown. The slightly shaped neckline has crossed straps over the chest. The shape is fitted to the body from the neck to the knee, where it then flares out to create a full skirt. Just below the waist are pocket extensions that stand away from the body.

This image shows a view of the gown. The straps from the front also cross on the back and connect to the gown at the lower back.

Back view shows the fullness of the train of the gown as well as the detailed crystal work.

This is a close-up view of the back of the royal blue gown. It is covered in crystals that reflect multiple colors. The upper and mid back areas are open.

This back view of the gown shows the long train spread out across the floor. The crystals are more concentrated at the shaped princess seam to give the body more of an illusion. The crystals are scattered and more spread out toward the bottom of the gown.
