Clothing Ideas???

Hello. You may know my store that jsut came out called, FLATORA. I am doing very well with designing, but i want to be able to be more creative. Anybody know where to get some ideas. I uploaded a pic of a design i made. Can anyone pin point me into a direction where i can find more ideas to make for clothing. Thanks

This might sound corney, but I got a lot of general idea looking at the Butterick website. They are the company that sells clothing patterns in all those craft stores.

Anyway, there are lots of illustrations that might spark an idea or two.

hehe... i forgot to mention... i design clothing that is more for like... britney spears liek clothing. You know like young and sexy. thats what im going for... lol no offense... but thats jsut the main theme for my store... lol.. thank you though. Anybody else have any places where i could get ideas?

I would say just look around at magazines and websites for the fashion ideas that you are looking for. if you want to make Britney Spears-esque clothing then google her and see what she is wearing and base your designs from that.

Ok thank you Ill do that

Good luck! I have an easier time designing since I was a fashion design major for awhile so I have a good eye for fashion and a memory bank of imaging. I tend to bounce between doing things with reference images or just from my head.

hi david!

i would reccomend going to www.ivillage.com and browsing thier women's magazine sites (redbook, cosmopolitan, ect). also, www.women.com seems to have no shortage of articles about mainstream fashion. mostly of the "how to dress sexy" variety.

if those dont do it for you, there is always the grocery-store magazines- those always have great ideas in them.
my personal favorites:
marie claire
vogue
in style
jane

you'll have to flip through some fairly mind-numbing material to get to the pics, but it might be worth it

Most of my ideas come from my own RL wish list. I may see someone on the street, or at a club, or on TV and think "i wonder where she got that".

Then I stew about it for days and go look for it online. And when I find something close, and of course can't afford it, I have a good cry, make it in SL, then treat myself to Ben and Jerry's.
