As a child, I have always been a visually observatory person. Patterns, textiles, and fashion have always been high interests of mine. My childhood consisted of many Barbie dolls as toys, and it wasn't the Barbie dolls that I wanted to play with, but the clothes that I loved to collect and interchange between the dolls. Creating different outfits for the dolls made me feel as if I was making my own mark in fashion. As I grew older, begging my mother to purchase fashion magazines like Vogue, Elle, and Harpers Bazaar were typical and became expected. While flipping through the pages of fashion magazines, I was enthralled while examining the latest trends from celebrities and models. This is what influenced me to want to work in the fashion industry.

I, Bailey Russell, participated in FCCLA’s Fashion Construction STAR Event. For this project I decided to make an evening gown. My inspiration came from the 1940s and the golden age of Hollywood. The dress is an emerald green full length velvet gown, with a short train. Unlike many students, I drafted my own pattern. This is something that made me stand out as a designer, as none of the other students I met did this. At national convention I presented my gown to a panel of judges, and made a gold rating. I put a lot of dedication in to this project and am proud of my achievements.

Marcia Pointon argues that the material practices of making clothing are similar to the production of creating artworks. Supporting her argument, Pointon examines garments that are made by tailors, for the reason that they are made by hand and not mass produced and compares their creation to the handiwork of an artist. Pointon explains that both the tailor and the artist start with cloth and that they both work by fabricating, cutting, meshing, and layering. Describing further, the author notes that both tailors and artist piece together shapes, pay attention to horizontal and vertical lines, must fit the figure on to one rectangular surface, and use outlining to prepare for their creation. Moreover, Dolan relates that both the tailor and the artist both work in fiction.
