Eggplant Maxi














So this dress is fully chiffon. 
Its just a bunch of layers--mostly on the bottom so its less sheer in the lower region. 
I had a great time making it :) It took me about two evenings to finish!

Current Goals

I have my sights set on (finishing before May is halfway through):

- Armor Dress for my 3D class at Pratt
- Color block dress (red and kiwi)
- Modern take on Audrey Hepburn Dress for Mom (half way done!)
- High waisted bikini for summer!
- T-Shirt dress out of the white and black silk
- 2 Lace Slips (NEED to find some good lace for cheap!)


(oh. and get a job.)

Black Chiffon Maxi

New outfit: Made a chiffon sheer maxi with high slit
Used old ribbon for a simple bow tie 
Add bowler and vintage sweater...
Fun! ^_^

Fresh Braid and Fresh Bow


Left over chiffon makes for a quick bow headband :)... add a fishtail and voila! Dopeness.

Long Armed Nordic


 Added pocket and awesome linen lining!


Fabric

Left: soft wool knit blend
Right: striped cotton blend

Top: black silk bend
Bottom: closer look at the cotton blend

Clockwise: wool knit, red chiffon,  cotton blend, Kiwi Silk 

Summer Challenge

I've always mixed old with the new and now I'm finally learning how to make my own clothes. So here is a blog about my goal for the summer and hopefully a new attitude towards creativity and fashion.

I'm so excited to finally get neck deep in fashion!  I'm going to catalogue the best that I can everything that I do with concerns to fabrics, cost, and styling.

I hope that you will have fun checking out what I've been up to and share with me what it is you doing with your clothes this season!

This is going to be an awesome Summer!! ^_^
