'Seduction' Sketches 3

These are for my Computer-Aided Design class. I'm designing for Spring/Summer 2009, playing with 40's and 50's tailoring, splicing that with Christian Iconography of the Martyr St. Sebastian (shot through with arrows, if you didn't know). The collection has a focus on occasion dressing, like, dressing for dinner, looking proper, etc.

Ah, finally narrowing in on St. Sebastian's influence. These have VERY literal references to both him and the 40's. The large, graphic arrowheads are embroidered, possibly with Sequin trim on the metal tips, and the shirtdress on the far right has darts hidden by the arrows with pleating hidden under the skirt, revealed in the slits when walking.
