-FOR SALE- One Peice of My Collection: Formal Rave Homecoming Underbust Corset Yellow.

Here is one of the three peices of my collection inspired by raves.

Underbust Yellow Satin Corset with Steel Bonning Black Lace Criss-Cross Laces and Optional Removable Dress

                 
This fancy underbust top would require a nice top because it does not cover the bust. that way, this dres can become very versatile to the wearer of the garment. the back of the garment is beautifully showing the sparkle tulle petty coat that comes with the dress.


There are corset lacing ties on each both sides of the top.
These can be ajusted slightly.


Laced Hem all the way around the dress.



Cool features about this dress:
On the waist line there is a zipper that can remove the yellow flow dress and reveal the sparkle tulle tutu that comes with this dress, for an even more versatile options for the wearer of the dress.


Here are the exact measurements of this garment.


Have any questions or interested in buying this dress? Please message me on my Etsy account. Listing link bellow.

WOW ITS BEEN A WHILE!

Well. . . hello there. . . how ya been?

Ok . . . FFFFF
I am so sorry that I have not been able to post here in the past
. . . .
four months?

I had to finish high school, and, I AM NOW DONE!!!
:DDDD
I am now a high school grad!
HURRRRRAH!

But yes, now that I am done with this silly high school mess, I can get back into the swing of things and finally sew 24/7! Like I used to. . .

But lets recap on what the hell happened in the past few months:
- Lots of f'en homework
- My love with My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
- MTAC! HURRAH! ANIME CON! That includes raves, Japanese foods, making new friends, and wishing I had a booth to sell my stuff at. . . (sniff). But there's always next year.
Here's my Steampunk outfit (that I had to improvise on) from the first day of the con)
-Hanging with friends
-Other raves
-Prom (and indeed I made my prom dress)
It took almost two months to make. It would have been sooner if I didnt have school in the way.  BLEHH


 - My birthday party!

- A new and very loving partner (thats whos in the prom photo with me :3)
- Seinor stuff and privilages that were wonderful and rememberable!
-School trip to Washington, D.C. (you can read about that on my friends blog right here
- And of course graduation!

There was so much that went on I can't even recall absolutely everything.

Although, in between my free time, I have made a few things. . .
Like a fluttershy hat!
https://www.etsy.com/transaction/82579054
I've sold two so far!

And I do have some news to share.
Ok, so I have chosen my college to attend to, finally. It was a very hard choice (out of all 2 options.)
Now for the next topic of interest: to earn an artistic scholarship from this college, I have to design a fashion line. This line will depend how much scholarship I will earn for the next four years of attending this school
*gulp*

I have completed my designs, made my patterns, and sewed everything up! They are all ready for my appointment on Monday.
But I really don't have much confidence in it, at all. Cause I feel that my work was very sloppy, but maybe the head of the fashion department wont care cause I never took any proper sewing classes. . .
Gah I don't know!!!!

Anyways, I will post those photos as soon as I can. 
Again I am sorry for this masive delay on information. I am ready and able to blog again though!
And I will be very vigalent in my work and updates!

Thanks for sticking with me, and thanks for all the new viewers I apparently have now.
I have views from over 10 different countries! Thanks a lot guys!

Keep up the craftin' and sewin'

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!

Damn Good Lolita Fabric

So I wanna keep posting as much as I can, but right now I'm working on a project and I'm not finished. I'm still in school so I'm not sewing as much as I want to.

But to keep this blog going, I'm going to show you what I bought at my local fabric store

TADA!

Beautiful rose fabric! Awesome for Lolita stuff!
:D
My only concern for this fabric was the small rose strips. I couldn't tell if the strips was up or down or left to right, but I'm pretty sure its left to right (picture shown) 
None the less, it was a beautiful print, I only wish it came in black, then I would have been very greedy and made some lolita for myself

Which I haven't done yet and really should do soon
T^T

43''- 44''

If anyone who comes across this blog lives in Tennessee, the store I got this from is "Textile Fabrics" in Berryhill, all the way in the back with their 50% off racks! I always enjoy a good search in the discount areas of stores. You never know what you will find in the old dingy bins with a red tag!

The original price was $12.98 a yard
o.o
but I got this for at least $6 a yard and I got four yards, so the checkout price was $28
I didn't think it was too bad :/
It's ganna make a damn good skirt!!

Well, that's my update for now
