2nd Thailand Influences Dress

This is my second Thai's influences Dress, but this time it's in shorter length. It's one side shoulder but to the right, because the left side need to have an invisible zipper. It has pleated on the back with lining under. It was a little struggle for me because the lining inside kept pulling down the self fabric outside I think there was a problem with the pattern. I adjusted the pattern a little because the arm hold dropped, since my mark pin was removed by someone. Tried to match the waistband side seam was tricky. Now, I really now how important a pattern is, because if the pattern got a problem, the whole thing mess up and instead of complete an assignment in 1 day, it will take 3 days.

Beads and Constrast Fabric, which one is better for the neck line?
you'll see the answer on the final dress.





My second Thailand's influences dress is on the way. This time, I designed it in shorter length. Target customer is still the same, Women from 35 to 50. Elegant and simple style. The fabric that I used is Crepe Satin. The only thing I changed is the flap over the shoulder and maybe I will add beads to my design. I was kind of debate between contrast fabric and beads, but I'll go with beads since it makes the dress looks elegant and powerful. Tell me what do you think? or feel free to give comments, because it's a way of learning.

Spring Refeshing with a Lining - Pleat-Skirt

The first 3 weeks of Spring semester were busy, we had lot of things to do but it's a good chance for me to review what I've done before. I'm so excited on our projects, creating a fashion line is really fun. I feel like I'm ready to explore in fashion's industry. To help me remember what've learned about lining a skirt, I created a mini pleated skirt. It's from 100% cotton, $1.99/yard. Navy with white dots. I used the idea of a Pleat-skirt in Pattern's book. I also used Invisible zipper for closure. Everything fit, and it fits me, yeahh!

Spring Refreshing sewing skills with a lining skirt.

This is a Christmas dress that I designed for my great niece in Christmas 2009. It was very simple and easy to make. I was so excited after I learned how to do a lining for a dress in Fashion 1B. After the final, I went to Joann's fabric store and got this red satin. I had a busy schedule for my holidays, so i couldn't think of anything too complicated and that was how the little red dress came out. But my great niece looked great on it. I bet she had a wonderful time with her special present. And I had a great chance to review my lining skills in Fashion 1B, even though i didn't rest after the final. Fashion is too funs!!!
