Word of the Day 2- Gewgaw

Published:

Description

So March Break begins with a snow storm and so does the boredom... to break myself of this boredom I have decided to do a sketch of clothing everyday for all of March Break. This was Sunday's drawing for the word of the day "gewgaw".

I based this outfit off of the "bauble" part of the definition. I thought of a rich red and gold Christmas ornament. This outfit is a fluffy burgundy dress with an empire waist and a puffed collar. The dress has gold accents. The accessories are red and black. Fairly simple.

Gewgaw: gewgaw \G(Y)OO-gaw\, noun:
A showy trifle; a trinket; a bauble.
(I am using dictionary.com's word of the day: [link] )

Very strong concept ^^
I love how you take word of the day of dictionary.com as your inspiration. :D
This is definitely a gorgeous design. The collar is very original and very well done! Great job!
