secret project revealed!

Surprise! I was quite busy making this grad dress for my good friend Genevieve!

Its hard to see the detail on the bodice in these pictures but its all rouched.

I was a good experience and will look good in a portfolio, I had never done rouching before this and had to learn as i went along, wich turned out alright but stressful at times when the organza decided it wasnt going to listen to me. -_-

Well that explains my absence! and what i've been busy with lately, i have a couple more posts in the making before i leave wednesday on a trip! 

My first brand item

I was really excited to receive my new BtsSB dress in the post yesterday! It was "Take a walk with Usakumya-chan jumper skirt" in black.

It arrived extremely fast, It was shipped on friday and out for delivery the following tuesday (sadly i wasn't home at the time) thats 5 days to get to canada! I was very nervous placing the order, using the shopping cart and a different paypal account but it all turned out good and there was no confusion! I give Baby a 5/5 on everything!

Up until now I've sewn all my own clothes, it was unexpectedly amazing to put on a brand dress. It was how i would imagine putting on a wedding dress would be. I put it on and just felt pretty.

I think I might have just become a brand whore.

what i've sewn lately(ish)

I made this dress in october and I'm just getting around to posting pictures now... I really like the red of the dress and normally wear it without a shirt underneath, but in the spirit of being a good loli i posted pictures of it with a shirt under it also. It has a bib thats detachable and a bow at the back that ties from the sides. I do kind-of prefer it without the bib though.

The inside is completely surged and finished however its not lined (mostly because im lazy). Also while making this dress I learnt why not to let your boyfriend help you sew... The bow that ties from the side was added later, after he cut a hole in the side of the bodice with the surger. >.<>
