beginning rules

Welcome to Project 2162!  The following chart lists the dates of each of six projects, and one person will be disqualified each project.  Each project, all submitted looks will be posted on the Project 2182 blog, at http://project2162.blogspot.com/ and will be voted on by any or all members of store 2162 staff, including recently employed or friends of staff members.  The finale will be voted upon by the general public.

When submitting your project, please submit one succinct paragraph describing your motivation.

I can always be contacted at bryanjjohnson1969@gmail.com.

3 Haute couture (French for "high sewing" or "high dressmaking") refers to the creation of exclusive custom-fitted clothing. Haute couture is made to order for a specific customer, and it is usually made from high-quality, expensive fabric and sewn with extreme attention to detail and finish, often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques

 

Please do not destroy the models.  They belong to Melissa and Joy, not you.  Use Velcro.  Ask one of the prior contestants or me if you need guidance.
