The dress design sketch
This dress was inspired by the idea of Cha Cha from Grease being at Studio 54. I love the way she rocks up to the prom in Grease, ready to win the dance competition and being the coolest girl ever. She totally steals the show.
I can ust imagine her being the life of the party at Studio 54 dancing all night with Bianca and Halston.
I knew instantly what the dress would be like once I saw the fabric. I love the glitter tulle, dotted with tiny holographic dots on a strong tulle.
The dress.
The dress was designed with a boned boidce and classic 1950s full skirted shape but with visible cups. I really liked the sheer details of the studio 54 guests outfits and added sheer edging to the sweetheart and straps. I may want to take this further with a completely sheer bodice made from just a couple of layers of tulle.
The skirt is made up of layers of tulle all in this fabulous holographic tulle so that when you look through the tulle its like a whole universe of stars. I just love the depth to this tulle!
Finished with a grosgrain bow.
The styling
This was simply styled for the photos but really I would have loved Cha Cha aka Annette Charles to have turned up to studio 54 in this dress big curls, turquoise tights, silver strappy shoes and a massive turquoise fur coat to walk through the crown in.
