A dress a day #3

I would like to introduce the youngest member of the Sew Stellar/Fetasia clan, Marisa. This little miss is my small (!) sister and sat for photos in exchange for some dresses. And mama Stellar got prints out of it as well, win win!
 
 
This is the 'Honey' dress, which is now made with a standard full circle skirt. This one has a large additional pleat in the front, as the fabric was a gift and I actually had leftovers!

A dress a day #2

Welcome to ADAD part two! You might notice some almost uncanny similarities between this dress and the last, and you would be correct. This is Roxy Mk2, which was created and worn for the same event as the Mk1. This one had green bias binding, pink ribbon, and a yellow zip, which all probably sound horrible but looked most excellent on the jazzy polkadot dress.
 
 
 
 
Really odd looking at the last photo and not seeing the massive gaudy Prince and the Revolution tattoo that lives there now.

And a little update on the first Roxy dress. The organisers not only loved me so much they had me back twice as staff, but used photos of me in Roxy numero uno on the marketing material.
 
 
More of little ole me and the ears.
And my moodboard!

A dress a day #1

These two photos were taken of the first ever dress made from start to fin, sans pattern. The dress in question went on the be the 'Roxy', as everything I make is now named after Burly girlies. Helps me remember them better than dress 001 or skirt 012.
While this is "A dress a day", there will be a very similar post up shortly when I find photos of 'Roxy' Mk 2.

Cosplay Costumes

So, for the last,two years I've either not dressed up at all, or gone in a latex version of,the costume. Anime suits it. No-one ever has any seams. This year i'm planning ahead. Looking at doing a bridge/crossover sailor moon. Starting here:




 Look familiar? vvvvvv


Basically, I want to make that! ^^^^^^^

Lovely Flo!

Just a little bit of research for some ceilidh dresses I'm going to be making, and the rather bonny miss who wants them. The green ones I found after I'd discussed colour and style with her, and are almost exactly the same.
