The Village of Flowers

It's very important to me that Carrie Hanaurie's original home feel like a real place with its own history and culture. So I began playing around with the idea of the dress being a kind of special festival clothing based on the theme of flowers (hence the title). Perhaps a celebration of spring or coming of age and such.

Each girl will be adorned with a flower that acts as a family/personal emblem. At the moment we just have the basic design without the flower embellishments (I'll add them in a later post). 

Hanaurie            Blankwytt         Luvokeur          Yaustier                 Anafier
Chrysanthemum         Daisy            Rose Red          Rose White         Lavender  

Essentially this is just a good practice with colour combination (an area I believe is not my strong suit, especially with these kinds of bright primary colours). Personally I'm pleased and it was quite fun playing around with each individual's design. I hope that a little bit of each individual character comes through with a sense that these were likely her fellow playmates. Who knows? I may feature them a little more in depth later...

I have no idea what the boys would wear and this sort of bugs me. If it were some kind of festival a more gender-neutral clothing would be more fitting. Maybe the boys can wear dresses too :D!
