Little red riding hood inspired dress

Created by Hannah herself, this midi length skater dress is ideally designed for formal events and was originally created for a wedding that Hannah attended in the summer of 2016. The colour of the dress was inspired by the combination of the forest and the story "Little red riding hood".

Due to the flowery lace material, it creates an elegant yet stylish feel to the dress. This is also reinforced by the carmine red colour the material uses, making it stand out and eye catching to others around. In order to keep the dress in place, Hannah designed it to have an underdress which uses a cotton material. As the lace on top of the underdress is see through, the underdress is therefore dark purple, making the two colours contrast beautifully together. It also features pockets on either side of the dress, but are hidden by the red fabric. This makes the dress functional and handy for keeping small personal items - such as mobile phones, purses or keys.

The dress also uses a 'v' neck line, which gives the user the choice of styling it up with a fancy necklace or just to keep it plain and simple (as Hannah has done in the following photo's). The straps of the dress are spaghetti styled - meaning thin, string like straps. This is to support the weight of the dress but still not to distract others from the actual dress itself. It can be styled with nude stilettos or black heels, along side a nude or black clutch bag with gentle jewellery of a similar colour to these accessories. Perfect for all year for any formal occasion.
