Project #18: Crop Ruffle Sleeve Cut Dress

I wanted to play around with sleeves more, so I came up with this design. I'm hoping it'll be a bit more pretty than my drawing, but I think it could work out.



I'll be using the purple floral fabric I've used during Project #7 for this one. I thought the bottom might be fun to add something to the dress instead of straight across, but I don't know how I feel about it yet, so it might change.

This design came about in class, good time! Haha. We'll just see how it turns out, I'm hoping to have it done ASAP.

Project #17 Completed!


It's almost been a complete month, but I'm finally back to work! Things got to crazy during May, so I just had to give it a rest for a bit, figuring I can double up during weeks in the summer.

To be honest with you, I completely forgot my design, but the work I had done before my break was just sitting there, and I started again. So, the dress is different than my original design, but that's okay, I still like it.



First off, that's the fabric I dyed. The color is really pretty, and I was really happy with it. I love greens, and this is definitely what I was invisioning in my mind.


Finally, a new dress! It's short, of course.. And it's supposed to be very tight (..as always).. so that's why it looks a little weird on the bottom, where the mannequin stops.

I decided to get rid of the choker part, because once I stumbled upon this back while I was playing with the fabric, I thought it was fab, simple, and elegant.. And since there's a lot going on with the lace and short length, I thought I'd just end it with the simple lines and baseline neck in the front. But I still love my original design.. And possibly might try re-creating it later.

Anyway, I'll keep it short and sweet, but there it is! It probably cost me like $10+, I'm not sure.
