ABOUT MY DESIGN
Since I also did a candy challenge
for Season 10, I wanted to try to veer away from what I did last time
as so not to fall back on the previous design; I feel like everyone opts
for a dress, and it seems a bit of a cop-out, so this time I went for a
really casual, overall shorts and cropped "hoodie" because I wanted to
intentionally clash the stereotypical "sweet" connotation of the candy
with really relaxed and rebellious attitude. I also feel that last time,
I didn't really take advantage of the wide variety of candy and
candy-related products, so I tried to incorporate the wrappers and other
things as well.
I was stoked to find that my absolute favorite chocolate was in the Hershey Store, and so I used the Cadbury Roast Almond/Milk Chocolate Bar
pieces on a muslin base to create the overall (where the thighs meet,
the chocolate is shaved thinly, to prevent it rubbing together). The
cuffs and the rosette "buttons" were created using the foil wrappers
from the Hershey's Kisses Milk Chocolate with Caramel, and the Kisses design was made with one of the magnets from the Contemporary KISSES Chocolates Magnet Set.
The cropped, hooded jacket was made using the unfolded wrappers of the Hershey's Symphony Milk Chocolate Bar Almond Toffee, which I chose for the design to create a pinstripe effect as well as the blue script, which I used as decorative scrawl.
