A step in the right direction

Im not starting a design business just yet and or in the immediate future but I did decide to make a portfolio of sorts of most of the more presentable wardrobe pieces that I have made in the past 5 or more years as it would be a good start and push in the direction of my desired career of designer. Although most of my past pieces have been day wear it has slowly transformed into a specified direction of ballroom and latin dance wear.

I wont put them all in one post but Ill keep it to one article per post to get feedback and keep it organized... But well start with a fall theme... This skirt was one of the first things I ever made. One of my mom's friends helped me with the pattern and the fabric was very unique. Back when I was first starting to sew I didnt really know much about what fabrics go well with what designs but I would say this was a success even though its quite a challenge to match this skirt with tops.
