There's this pink and white polkadot skirt I have that I made a couple of weeks ago - it was a little boring though, so last night I added some trim to make it more interesting. I know it's not typically EGL, but this community does promote home sewing and self creation so I thought you guys might be interested.

I sewed 4 meters of pink ribbon and lace together, then gathered it together and pinned it onto the skirt in a spiral. I then sewed it up, et voila!

i for one love it...

how did you make the skirt

[bronfish.livejournal.com]

Ah! I'm so glad~!

I just used a simple pattern (McCall's 2029, if you're interested), and cut it across the bias so it hung better. It's actually the first skirt I ever made, so I'm quite pleased with how it's turned out ^^

[bronfish.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think so as well. Trim was the skirt's saving grace ^^;

You're too cute! So is the outfit ^_^ you should make another one and then sell it on ebay, i'm sure LOTS if people would want.

[bronfish.livejournal.com]

You know, I might put some serious thought into that! I never thought my stuff was interesting enough for Ebay, but the responses I've been getting seem to indicate otherwise.

The only problem is that the skirt wasn't all that cheap to make - you can't see on the pictures, but there's actually an underskirt attached to it to stop it being see-through. Still, it's given me a lot of ideas. Maybe I will take you up on your suggestion ^^;

Eeeek! So cute! I love it!

[bronfish.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you!

Hmm. Reminds me of understated Sexy Dynamite London. XD I'm such a brand-whore... cute! You're right, it's not hardcore EGL, but it would, at the very least, look right at home on the streets of Tokyo.

I probably would have been better posting to the Fruits community, but I'm not a member, and besides, I like supporting the EGL list ^^ Saying that the skirt looks like a Japanese designer though.. that's just the ultimate compliment! Thank you ><;;

Your make-up is fantastic.

[bronfish.livejournal.com]

Thank you *_* I only just started wearing it again, actually. I'm a little out of practice...

[lithia-black.livejournal.com]

Aww, wonderful. A bit punkish and cute.
And where did you get that fabric ? I want it.
I love pink ! And dots ! And stripes !

[bronfish.livejournal.com]

I found it at my tiny local fabric store. They had all different colours of dots and stripes - I totally fell in love! *_*

[felicity869.livejournal.com]

That looks amazing, especialy for being your first skirt :)

[bronfish.livejournal.com]

Alright, approval! *lol* It's so nice to get support, especially as an amateur. Thank you~

[bronfish.livejournal.com]

Do you really think so? I've always been a little embarrassed about my wide face and chubby cheeks - this is the first time that anyone's told me I look like a doll ^^;; So thank you!

[bronfish.livejournal.com]

No way! ><;;;

[totodedum.livejournal.com]

[bronfish.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ><;;;

[ichigo-neko.livejournal.com]

wow! You look like a real model from Kera or the Gothic & Lolita Bible. So cute!
Mmm... that would be a great job... getting paid to wear pretty clothes and do poses... ^_^

[bronfish.livejournal.com]

It would be a great job, wouldn't it? ^^; Be Kana for a day, or something. Still, I'm sure, like any job, it would get stressful after a while. Maybe it's easier just to dream? ^^;
