Outfit choice for Estella

When coming to the outfit choice for Estella I had to think long and hard what I could style her in as styling plays a big part within my final Images and overall look. At first I was going to buy some material and make something for my model to wear for the final shoot but found this to be time consuming and also I would need a bit of money and some skills in making and putting an outfit together from scratch. I flicked threw photographs on the Internet looking at more different styles of dresses trying to figure out what i could style my model in that would be easy but effective for the final look.
Thinking back to my prom a few years ago i thought of the dresses we all wore then and started to look threw old prom pictures of me and my friends seeing if i could make refrences to the dresses we wore then and the dresses that they wore in the Victorian period. When looking at these i realised one of my friends dresses had a similar look and design and was a prefect and gorgeous colour to have my Estella in. All the other dresses were bright pink or red which were not really popular colours worn at this time where as light blues and olive green colours were more popular. The whole design of the dress from the colour to the high shine on it making it look very expensive and the detail along the top and down the dress made it look Victorian. This was my perfect option to dress my Estella in and as I already had a model choice who would fit perfectly in the small dress it was perfect.The low cut and style and design of the fabric along the top
of the dress was of a similar design to one of the dresses i had drawn and dresses i had see in books of Victorian woman wearing.
