I just made a really crappy, simple dress tonight, since I was bored...



I need to take it in, because it hangs too much off of my waist (the stretch velvet is TOO stretchy!) but does anyone have any ideas for anything I could add to it to make it cuter? I have a measure of the fabric left, so I think I'm going to make matching armwarmers. Myu myu!

Hey...

Hi everybody, well I just love Japan, no I mean it, I'm really obsessed. Not just about lolita either. I'm a Japanophile! I've never been though, how many of you fabulous ladies (or boys :P) have been or lived in Japan so that I may forever worship you. :]

Very useful

Making a skirt...making a skirt

[cherrycity.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'm planning out a knee-length skirt that I want to make, and I'm wondering if any of you sewing wonders out there could help me out with the patterning, since I'm doing this on my own.

Currently, I have 3.33 yards of black peachskin (it feels so soft...mmm) and I'm wondering how wide the skirt hem should be?

My waist is about 28 or 29 inches, depending on how I wear it.

The skirt will have six panels, and flare out at the bottom, and after all is sewn together, I am scrunching or (pleating some beforehand) to create a shirred effect.

Similar to this skirt: http://www.metamorphose.gr.jp/skirt/m-s-320216.htm
Without all the lace on the bottom (so it looks all "swoopy")
but shirred like this: http://lip-service.com/product.php?id=20-93&k=3&style_id=116&cat=LS

So can anyone help with how I should draft the patterns or have any helpful links?

How long should I make it so it ends up at the right length and fullness?

Hehe, thank you!!

Also, what should I do about fasteners?
I'm very afraid of zippers, so that's my very, very last resort. I'm thinking maybe buttons, snaps, and maybe but probabaly not elastic.
Though snap tape sometimes gapes.

My fave new creation!

This is my latest custom order. It's replica of a dress a girl liked from BTSSB. I'm more happy with it that any custom items I've done this year. She looks so cute in it, too :) I know she did some flyering for me at Anime Expo so hopefully some of you saw her there!!!
