I'm a bit late with this like always.

The challenge this week was:
"This week, you're designing couture pieces inspired by drinks. Your pieces ought to be like the drink in every aspect, not just colours, as some people might do. For example, if you had chocolate milkshake, it wouldn't just be brown, it would be thick and goopy somehow. Also think about the type of person who would drink your beverage. For example, a martini drinker would probably be more elegant than a beer drinker. This week we're also giving you some extra restrictions by assigning you drinks. You may choose your own from the list, but only one person per drink."

I chose milk.
Milk is very, very simple, pure and flowy and I wanted my design to reflect that. I also thought about the kind of person who drinks milk; some one who lives a balanced, healthy life. They might be ordinary, but they're so in an extraordinary way. Milk might be a bit boring and banal, but it's also what most of us start our lifes off with and what keeps us healthy and strong through our lives. Milk is also very versatile and is used for everything from cheese to fabric.

***

The dress is made out of milk white semi-matte silk. The top is tied behind the neck and the tails of it will flow down the back. The dress will billow and flow like milk being poured as the person wearing it moves.
The d'Orsays are made of the same milky silk as the dress.

(Critique please.)
