The Retro Karissa - Part 2

Here, Part 2 of our Retro shoot

The overall look and feel for this shoot was to look fashiony with a retro spin.  For this look I made a corset (with bone-ing) and pencil skirt, both made out of brocade fabric.  The look we wanted was a little retro but very rich looking.  We kept the hair and makeup the same but added a jewels.  

The jewelry I ordered on eBay from a place that sells Indian wedding jewelry. Indians love their bling and their jewelry is always VERY eye catching.  And very reasonable.  Course it takes a month to getting anything from the Far East, and it's a gamble, but often you get a wonderful surprise and unexpectedly intriguing merchandise.  They always include a free gift, sometimes they include foreign currency or small jewelry - it's apparently the custom to send everything with a gift. This necklace with earrings and the head ornament was under $25.00.

 

The corset is made from 4 different pieces of fabric (came from a stack of fat quarters) but because they are all burgundy they went together surprisingly well.

Here Karissa is twirling on the dance floor with 8 yards of jersey fabric.

 

Karissa took the fabric and wrapped it around her bust, right over the clothing and tied a knot and turned this piece of fabric into an evening gown.

 You gotta admit, that's a killer knot.  Beautiful little dress, great job Karissa!

Pretty Muse believes the women in front of our camera come to us because they want what we do. We are unique. We are offering a new kind of photography style and service that nobody, to our knowledge, is able to offer.  

Women are inspired by the magazines they grew up reading, they respond when they see pictures of themselves that resemble a perfume ad or the cover of a magazine.  They want a little glamour, a little fashion flair, a makeover and they want to feel glamourous.  This is what we do.  And we love, LOVE, love doing it.  

Next month we are going to offer a very special opportunity for you to become the muse, to have your dream shoot.  We've thought long and hard about how to bring our special brand to Treasure Coast women and now have a unprecedented photography service.  In a couple weeks we'll present this offer but wanted you to know it's coming!  Meanwhile, thank you for maintaining such high interest in what we are doing!
