Okay, so I’ve been obsessed with Audrey Hepburn’s style forever, especially her iconic evening gowns. I decided to dive deep and really figure out what made them so special, and maybe even try to recreate a little of that magic myself.
Getting Started – Finding the Right Images
First, I needed visuals. I scoured the internet. I mean, I went down a serious rabbit hole. I looked at tons of pictures of Audrey in her famous movies and at events. I focused on the evening gowns, of course.
- I started with the obvious ones, like the black dress from “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and the white floral one from “Sabrina.”
- I created different folders of different styles of dresses to make it easier.
- I also tried to find photos from different angles, so I could really see the details of the dresses.
Analyzing the Details
Next, I started really analyzing the gowns. It wasn’t just about the overall look; I wanted to understand the construction and the details.
- I noticed a lot of clean lines. Simple, but elegant.
- Many of the dresses had fitted bodices and full skirts. Classic silhouette.
- The fabrics looked expensive, even in the photos, things like silk, satin, and lace.
- There was often subtle detailing, like delicate embroidery or beading, not too flashy.
The Sketches and Plans
Then I attempted to draw to put my ideas on paper, but I can’t draw.
My Takeaways (So Far!)
This whole process really showed me how much thought and craftsmanship went into those dresses. It’s not just about throwing on a pretty gown; it’s about the cut, the fabric, the fit, and those tiny details that make all the difference.
I’m not a fashion designer, but I find the process amazing. It’s inspiring, and I get it. The details is amazing.
