Day one in new said dress: cut off poofy sleeves and embroidery around a flour with the initials of my true love.
Questions to be answered:
Do I preplan each dress before I start?
No, but sometimes there is an idea I have been wanting to work with so I will try to experiement a little with a preconceived idea. Usually I deviate from the plan.

How do I pick the dresses I start with?
I have a whole rack of dresses hanging in my studio. They all have some meaning for me. Some times I start with one of them, other times I just go with the flow and a couple of days before the month switches I pull a couple of things and make a last minute decision. Some times I construct a garment entirely from nothing... like Cupcake.
Will I wear these dresses again?
Aside from perhaps reshooting some final portraits ( Evangeline and The Struggle and perhaps Medkansla) I don't really see myself wearing any of these dresses again. They document a very specific time and space in my life. They are the history of one month for the year between Nov. 2010 and Nov. 2011. I want them to say what they say and be a record of where I was, who I was, and kind of act like an intersection or pinpoint on a map of my own life.
