Look At ME !!!!!!!!!!!

Just thought I would share this with you all, it took exactly 18 hours and then some to finish this dress.

I am currently working on a pink dress that I stole from blue period. I hope to have it done by Saturday. Oh the agony of creating these dresses, but they sure are fun to look at.


My version of a BSSB Cutsaw top

I won't be wearing this one anywhere...I do have a pink one that I currently working on though. I would like to attend a anime/cosplay covention. But I have a feeling I am going to have to fly to one. Ilve in ATL, and I haven't seen one here yet but you never know. Oh and then there is a Cabaret club that one of my many drag queen friends will be performing at, so I may wear it there.

ATL as in, Atlanta, GA? There is a convention held there every year actually ~ it is called Anime Weekend Atlanta (http://www.awa-con.com/). I have never been myself, though I do hope to go someday and I have always heard good things about that con. ^__^

Very pretty!

In my humble opinion, though, the wide white lace trim is just a teensy bit overpowering. I love B & W and the contrast, but I think overall, the dress would seem a little better balanced if the wide trim was used maybe only on the skirt parts, or only on the bottom of the skirt and the around the neckline.
I think the black satin bows and white satin roses are throwing the balance a little as well, and the combo of the two makes it seem more 'busy' instead of more ornate? Ornate isn't the word I want, but it's the closest my brain will give me at the moment. Does any of that make sense?

Still sooo very pretty. I definitely envy your ability.
Man I need to learn to have the patience for sewing...

Thanks

You know what, thank you for your advice I will have to take all of that in consideration.I am a bit new to this whole thing as a culture. I have been dressing very girlish for a while I just never knew there was a name.

[marle777.livejournal.com]

I think both pieces are absolutely gorgeous just as they are! The only things that are too busy are the photo backdrops! heh heh

Really superb work, I'm in envy through and through.

You know what...LOL you are completely right. I thought I should have used a soft pink. Oh well I learn next time I share. Thanks.

Wow, the black and white dress is so awesome *_*

[tiq.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!!

Your stark use of black and white in the dress is so chic. It looks amazing. I love the big/solid white lace. It's not a delicate dress, it's very graphic... Like someone took out a marker and started drawing a dress.

[tiq.livejournal.com]

Thank you soo much. I feel the very same way about the graphic look of the dress. I love to use alot of dichotomy in my clothing. Like one dress I saw had black on white. I think that is even more graphic then black on white. I don't see why everyone feels that they have to use white with pink either. I personally want to make a skirt that features black on pink....Thanks

Wow! Those are really pretty! The cut-saw top looks exactly like a BtSSB one! You did a really good job! ^_^

[tiq.livejournal.com]

thanks...I think I put waaaay to much smocking into the top though to be honest.

[iamchubbybunny.livejournal.com]

Really nice! I wish I could sew like that! >.

[tiq.livejournal.com]

Sure you can sew like that...just run that material right thru the machine and threaten it with scissors if it's doesn't want to act right.

[tiq.livejournal.com]

Gees thank you so much.

[ashna.livejournal.com]

And yes it's busy but in a good over done doll like way. The lace goes where it's put veyr nicely.
I love it all! Can't wait to see some more fo your stuff.

[tiq.livejournal.com]

Thank you so very much..that's the effect I was going for. I really like the very ornate, porcelain doll look. I can't wait to see more of my stuff either LOL!!!!!!!!1

[ashkaztra.livejournal.com]

That black and white dress is utterly beautiful. It looks very elegant.

[tiq.livejournal.com]

Thank yo I appreciate that!!!!!!!!

[gamingangel.livejournal.com]

omg so beautiful. i would be interested in buying a pink one if you ever want to make one for commission. Great job!

[tiq.livejournal.com]

I am actually making one this weekend. I will be posting pics of that hopefully by Monday. I refuse to put myself through same torture of completing a dress in one day ever again. Just email me at lilrichgirlz@yahoo.com.

[gamingangel.livejournal.com]

lol I bet it was torture! I have a simple egl dress planned and it took me 2 hours to lay out the pattern and cut and I was dead. lol

I will email you. I'd love to pay you for such a beautiful outfit.

[czol.livejournal.com]

I have fallen in love with that dress! Do you do commissions? (I have no money at the moment but for something that gorgeous I can save! *wantwantwant*)

[tiq.livejournal.com]

Of course I do commissions...don't worry I come down with that same infection every month. Sometimes it goes away briefly only to return again. LOL

*gasp!*

[totodedum.livejournal.com]

aaaahh! it's sooo pretty! @.@ i *love* the design on that dress...especially how the ribbon laces in the front! very purdy..me wanty-wanty!! ^o^

Re: *gasp!*

[tiq.livejournal.com]

Thank you...you actually give me the courage to do another one of these.:)

[skwerlie.livejournal.com]

That dress literally took my breath away. I was scrolling through my friendspage and saw it, and gasped. The dress is incredibly lovely, I think the contrast is teriffic! It has good shapes and lines in it. I'm very much looking forward to seeing other things you've sewn : )

[neko-loliighoul.livejournal.com]

that dress is AMAZING! *wants*
ahhh so inspiring! thankyou for posting that!
