My final collection: lost in wonderland

About the theme:

Alice in Wonderland has always been my favorite childhood story: full of color, fancy, and universal themes that speak to anyone anywhere you could possibly go. This collection takes unforgettable elements of that fairy tale and makes whimsical ensembles out of them. Some characters were not included because they were easily forgettable, or just uninspiring to me. However, every outfit is based off of some fun element of the tale ( primarily from the movie, not the book).

About the collection:

Overall: The collection progresses by common color. First is the caterpillar in all blue, followed by Alice in light blue, followed by the Mad Hatter with his blue bowtie, followed by Tweedle Dee and Tweedle dum with a similar blue bow tie. But, Tweedle Dee and Dum also has red, which leads to the March hare, the red of the Queen of Hearts, followed by the red in the Card Guard, followed by the shared red heart of the White rabbit, followed by the touch of red and similar folded fabric of the flamingo, followed by the pinkish purpled hue of the Cheshire cat. While the pieces aren't entirely cohesive one beside the other, they all fit into the main theme, and each shares some small detail in common with the two pieces beside it.

About the individual pieces:
1.) The Caterpillar. This edgy top and skirt set keeps to the long, segmented lines of the caterpillar. The bubble seaming reflects his segmented body type, while not being too over the top. The high collar adds to the long slender neck he had. There are copper arm bands, buttons, and elf like shoes to match the caterpillar, and small pink details to match the rims of the caterpillars hands and feet. The purse is modeled very closely to his hookah type pipe. The colors are very similar as well. The top is a satin type material, the skirt has a long slit and is a denim with copper seaming.
2.) Alice. This intimate apparel takes an unexpected turn for the innocent character in the book and movie. I took the blue of her dress and used it to channel it into the blue bra and blue and sheer panty. I turned her white apron into semi sheer white additions to the front of her outfit. White tights go well with traditional Alice, in a slightly more risque way. little black details speak to her black mary janes and headband. I also added small white gloves for effect. The black lace trimmed straps add an unexpected detail to the back as well. Also, mary janes go sky high in these platform heels. Overall, a more scandalous take on the innocent blonde.
3.) The Mad Hatter. The mad hatter is the hatter without his watch, afterall. This piece takes his suit and turns it into a fun cocktail type dress. The color of the hatter's coat is the outer layer of the dress, his shirt the color of the inside, and his pants the color of the leggings. The shoes are still brown, but now a fun cross over boot, and the big blue bow tie still finds its way as the bust detail of this dress. The off white color he normally boasted is turned into a ruffle detail along the top lining of the dress. And of course, what's a hatter without his hat? This ensemble adds a miniature of the fun hat, with the signature 10/6 printed on a small slip of paper as well. For sheer fun, the hem of the inner layer is slightly shorter.
4.) Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb: This piece has a more avant garde feel, but still totally wearable. The big pudgy twins are translated into a very fluffy read skirt. Of course, to keep the model from looking fat I chose a yellow corset top. To keep to the shape of the white triangle shaped collar, I chose a white cropped jacket with a little volume at the shoulders to balance the skirt. The boy's blue bowtie becomes a loose, bluse scarf tied in a bow. The iconical hat is slightly smaller, more of a rounded cap, and the normal flag is more like a limp touch so it didn't look too outrageous.
5.) The March Hare. I took an unusal turn and turned the march hare into a swim suit! Taking the color of the hares coat, I made the top trim of the suit, and the color of the top the lower part of the swimsuit. The hare's pants are the cute little bottoms, and his bowties as the little bow details on the hips and tops. Instead of bunny ears or tails, the hat has a pink inner layer to mimic the insides of his ear , the hat is brown on the outside like the bunnies ears. His whacky yellow hair is the ribbon on the hat, and his fluffy tail is the little flower like addition on the hat as well. Fun maroon sunglasses were added for detail, and his blue collar was put into the woven sandles. A different take on the hare, but still makes sense when you look at it.
6.) The queen of hearts. Instead of going for a dress, I turned the queen into a business suit. The red and black obviously comes into play with the jacket and high rise pencil skirt. The white trim of her dress comes into play as a trim on her jacket, her skirt, and a small cami underneath. The black and orange detail of her skirt is in the inside on both the front and back of the skirt, in a puffed out underlayer fashion. There is also a fun laceback on the skirt, and fabulous white pumped with red heart toe detail. She has a golden grown necklace as well, and an iconic red high collar to match the original gown.
7.) The card guard. The normal marching playing cards gets turned into a fun pair of romper type shorts. The gold reflects the gold on the back of the cards, and the straps are shaped like the staffs they carried as well. Instead of shoulder pads we get a fun top with a similar design. Instead of red socks, fun slouchy red boots, as well as little red fingerless gloves.
8.)White rabbit- instead of a neck ruffle we get a white ruffle like half top, with the reglar white heart on the bodice. And like his gray pants, we have gray jeans. When he reads a scroll, this translates into the scroll print on the back pockets. Instead of glasses, sunglasses. And of course, the hatter's watch. The top also buttons on the back of the neck and opens up.
9.)The flamingo. I tried to keep the long, thin lines of the flamingo with this one, and share the colors as well. There is also some sheer gauzy material on the front and back. The material is very gathered in various pink colors, and the back is a fading similar fabric. The top has red like the beak of the bird, the sides the color of the bodice in the shape of its wings, and the breast area the color of the head. I finished it off with pink denim skinny jeans, black boots with seams like the webbed feet, and a little flamingo feather in her hair.
10.) the cheshire cat. a fun evening gown modeled after the cat. the neckline is the cats grin, the bodice his stripes. they meet in the back for fun flowy strips of fabric. little white wedges seal the deal, and a cat collar to tip you off.

enjoy.

If these models where to do the final walk, it'd come full circle with the similar cut of the caterpillar and the cheshire cat :)

Sorry for the delay, it seems DA wants to be a punk and hate me when it's inconvienient.



Good luck everyone, I tried my best!
