New Lolita Skirt: Elegant Roses

Latest project!

Roses are Pink Elegant Lolita Three Tiered Front Panel Dress

This dress was a challenge for me

I'm not so proud of the result, but I learned to like it

It's pretty nice when you add all the petty coats underneath (right photo),

but by itself (left photo) its ok

This is a specific design I came up with myself (assuming that this wasn't thought up from a big time lolita designer first)

This is another one of my half elastic half flat waist band skirts

The a front panel has three tiers with lace covering the seems

The sides also have a twill tape (I forgot what its real name is) on the side seems to add a little more elegant detail

And there is also 4 inch long ruffles and white lining

Here are my notes on this skirt if you are interested in the process and thought pattern

Please check out my etsy shop if interested in this dress

Lolita Dresses: Large and Pink

Well, it's been a long few weeks

I FINALLY had the time to do SOMETHING now that I'm on my winter break and got all the exams done

I finally got to finish a small project to test out a new pattern I learned how to make recently

And the results were AMAZING!

I learned how to make a "flared skirt" pattern

Its almost like a circle skirt but its made of 4 or 5 different sections (not 1 or 2 like a circle skirt)

I made this skirt with some eyelet lace and long white ruffles

This skirt took me at least 6 hours to complete, maybe more than 6

The ruffles were hand crafted

This skirt is on the etsy shop!

Lolia JSK Pattern Tutorial?

So I've been searching for a way to make my own pattern for a JSK Lolita dress

and I think I finally found my solution...

Although it is not very specific, and in Spanish

 it's better than nothing right?

I will try to translate this by Google Translate

or by asking my Spanish Teacher to translate for me

UPDATE 12.6.11

This is apparently in French

*face palm*

Once that is done, I can make a pattern of my own from this little tip

And once I do that and make a dress of my own, I will share to you all my findings!

:D

THERE IS HOPE FOR ANYONE WITH MY PROBLEM!

Prom Dress 2011

So this week I haven't been doing much of any sewing at all,

which makes me really sad

But I will post this dress that I made at the beginning of the year.

Heres a prom dress I made for the Joann's Prom Contest

Front View

Back View

This is a ball gown corseted top dress with plastic boning and an overlay of red, black, and more black tulle with rime stones as a top layer

Now I'm really sad about this dress for many ill thought of mistakes...

This was one of the many first attempts of making a corset. What I did was that I bought a corset pattern, modified the waist line for a more dramatic curve, and sew an overload of tulle along with a satin under dress.

What I wanted out of the corset was a 2 or 3 inch back gap, a dramatic curve, and, heh make my boobs really pop out...

(But overall I wanted a very tight fit in all places of my torso)

But what happened was that the waist was more snug than tight and breathless, the bust was HUGE, and the hips were awkward and gross appearing

I wish that it would have turned out better cause it would have looked even better if I had just gotten all the measurements correct....

And I wasn't in the top 20 contestants for that contest....

sigh

I might sell this item

If interested or want to know any measurements for this dress,
