Fashion vs Nature

Day 37

I have a close friend who stays in Welkom and she made me make a dress just so she can show me her photography skills. Ended up making this dress in a day,  just so she can be happy.

This ended up wayyy different from what I had expected, I never laughed so much during any of my shoots before- this was just a crazy. Sooo, design and photos taken by my special friend :)

Location: lost in Welkom

Quick tip:

This dress can be worn by all body types. It is busy at the top, so attention won't be at the shoulders or at the waistline. Also, the A-line bottom is perfect for the pear-shaped figure. If you have some imperfections, this dress will hide it well. If you have a small waist, you can add a belt or any embellishment to the waistline to call attention to that area.

My experience:

As this shoot wasn't planned at all, I had loads of fun just going out into the bushes and just not caring whether the hem of the dress got dirty or not. Even the soil was different, I really liked being outside and it showed in these pictures. Really had fun and felt reconnected with nature again <3

Day 30

This mini shoot was at a beautiful door that I thought was fitting for the outfit I had in mind..

I wasn't really planning this, because here if you just find something nice, the chances of you finding it again is so rare..so I had to wake up really early to get a few shots in before sunrise.

Location: Sanur, Bali

                              

                 
                            

Quick tip

Any type of silk/satin fabric when fitted to the body, will unfortunately expose any type of imperfection you might have. If you are an hourglass, inverted-triangle or a rectangular shaped figure, this dress will suit you perfectly. However, if you are those shapes but still have some kind of imperfection anywhere, rather avoid wearing such fabrics when it's body fitting. Anything loose will make any lady look feminine and that is the plan. Will organise something more fitting for other figures soon.

My experience

I woke up at 6am to take these pictures and that time it was already very hot, so as you can see in the pictures, I am glowing a bit..also, have some highlight on but I had to do this as fast as possible because it was extremely humid. It was fun, felt more relaxed and chilled, also because I didn't have to move much :)

I loved the colour of the door, so knew this outfit would work here and make it look more chilled because to be honest this outfit should be worn as evening wear somewhere at a restaurant, but the setting changed the whole feel of it and that was the plan:) 

Fashion vs trapped inside

Day 9

I am in Windhoek now and had to scout for a venue indoors, soo came across the Executive Lounge at the Hilton, Namibia.
Needed something classy, as the dress was something different, so venue had to be a bit serious :)

The dress I'm wearing is more a "black-tie" event kind of dress, so had to choose a venue accordingly, also didn't want the room to overpower the dress, so the Executive lounge was the perfect location.

Location: Executive lounge, Hilton, Namibia

Quick tip

This dress will look flattering on an hourglass and pear-shaped figure. Emphasis is only on the waist, so all slim waists will look beautiful in this dress. However, if you shift the waistline to under the bust, it will be perfect on an apple figure too.

My experience

This was a very serious shoot :) only because the people who came into the executive lounge all had suits on, so had to be very serious and act like a real professional :D

It was fun though, different location with its different ambiance, but it was a great experience and the outcome of the shoot was exactly what I had in mind, so the pictures came out perfect.
