    At least you understood the theme, from what I've seen in the past most of the other designers didn't, maybe because it interfered with " their Vision" and besides the Met Gala cannot afford you! 😁

    Genuinely had no idea that the Met Gala was tonight, but now I'm excited to see what people come up with! Although I'm prepared to not be impressed. Also, props for dealing with all the ruffles, even if some of them were pre made. So. Many. Ruffles.

    • @Muck006
      @Muck006 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      "People" usually dont come up with anything ... because "everything has been done already", which results in "them" going overboard towards ridiculousness.
      Oh and it also means that "the dress" becomes the focus of attention and "does the dress actually match the woman?" is being forgotten.

It is so pretty and could also be used for a Valentine Ball as well. You are so talented, it's a shame your designs haven't made it to the red carpet events. They should be for sure. I also wanted to comment that you sounded so much happier; more uplifted than before. I'm glad that you consulted with others as well. Having people to call on for suggestions, support and/or advice makes it easier to complete the project. I hope you are noticing it as well. Thank you for showing us this project and how it was done.
