I have my 5 photos ready to go on my computer desktop. I have reduced the size of each to well below 4 mb, and reduced the pixels to maximum 1200 in one direction, but when the upload finishes on each photo, it says the link is broken, and no photo appears.
I'm very eager to enter my project. Is there some way you can help?
Many thanks.

Your garment can definitely be an original design without a pattern. We would love to see any of your original creations along with the designer garments which inspired you.
