Myst Building & Trust: A Fashion Frenzy (Design A Dress Contest)
*As Liz*
Hello All! I am so glad you could stop by today, while I talk to you all about my latest problem! I know I know it seems like I always have a problem but since I have taken over my grandfather's company it seems to be one thing after another.
So what is it this time you all ask, well.... It's kind of embarrassing but I was invited to the flash formal mask ball in honor of ...well me! The guy hosting it, some rich guy named Jared says its to honor me taken over my grandfather company. Now I have never had anyone want to honor me in ... well anything! So this is all new to me, I was told this is black tie formal ...whatever in the world that means? I don't even ties that's a man thing!
So anyway I am in a pickle here and I was not sure what to do so I went to Skye, the women who helps me run my grandfathers company ... while I may be own it she is the brains behind it. Anyway, I went to her seeking advice on what to wear and how to look so she called Gaston in he is her hair stylist! He's a charming fellow though a bit off his rocker ....but hey who isn't these days!
Anyway, while I was getting my hair colored and trimmed he told me I should put an ad in the local paper for fashion designs to design me a wonderful dress for this shindig. Now I was a little skeptical at paying someone to make me an outfit but as Skye pointed out I can afford and well .... I could really use the help!
So .... if you are reading this and think you can help me with this by making me a fabulous costume for the ball I would greatly appreciate below is a few things to note in regards to what to do ..... I can't wait to see what I will be wearing!
NOTES FROM SKY!
I hope you guys like this I know many of you enjoy fashion contest. I decided however that this is going to be a very quick contest - I am only going to make it a week long and to keep this simple for myself and anyone who may be willing to judge each person can only enter two outfits! That's right folks only two! So pick your best ones!
DEADLINE – March 26th, 2014

***Extra:
As the ball you will be attending is held to honor you. YOU should stand out. With the Pretty in Pink dress and matching accessories you will be the lady of the night. This high-slit dress shows your business partners that you are confident. A big bracelet with pink and white diamonds shows off your (financial) independence to the other invitees. Liz, you are very young for the position you are in. By designing this outfit I tried to incorporate your young age (with the color pink) and combined it with powerful accessories. The pictures show the same model with different haircuts and colors to let you see how versatile this look is.

Thank you.
Outfit Name: Spring Flower

Spring Flower Ball Gown
Spring Flower Collar
Spring Flower Heels
Extra: My name is Avia, and I'm happy to present my dress designs to you, Skye. I hope Liz finds one of them suitable for the party. This outfit is a fun and flirty design in the spirit of Spring. The airy, revealing dress features a cute and colorful butterfly adorning a field of delicate flowers. Its flowing skirt and unique form are sure to attract attention at the dance. Match it with a pair of strappy heels and a classy but brightly-colored collar. The outfit goes best with short hair or an up-do with framing bangs.

Necklace from Showtime
Extra: Hey, Skye! It's Avia again with another outfit for Liz. This time, it's a more formal option in case she wants to appear professional in her new role as company owner. The floor-length dress is classy enough to wear to a wedding, but the subtle pink shade makes it cute and light. A swirling filigree pattern adds eye-catching accents. Don't forget the high heels. They might not be visible, but they'll give Liz's stride a delicate sense of balance. Since she can afford it, the white and pink earrings and sparkling necklace are both made from real diamonds. She'll definitely impress anyone who thinks she doesn't belong at the top.

Outfit Name: Let Spring Begin
Download Link(s):
Spring Dress
Spring Shoes
Spring Fingernails
* Necklace can't be uploaded.
***Extra: This dress is simply eye-catching with its soft flow from yellow to green. The color choice is just right for spring. The silk scarf that is integrated in the dress gives you something mystical as parts of the dress are not fully shown. I encourage you to wear just one accessory to compliment the outfit. As for make-up I recommend nothing but matching two-colored eye-shadow and nail polish.
