fashion

Ok so I am (hopefully) going fabric shopping this weekend!!! SO siked. Anyway, I am debating what sort of fabrics to get cuz I do have sort of a tiny-meenie budget and i can't exactly get everything I would like to get! So I am looking to you readers for fashion advice. I have all these clothing ideas swirling in my head and I don't know which I should start with. I am thinking I could make a smart Christams dress, or maybe a cute Sunday dress, or should I go all our and just do an over-the-top fashionable dress I would never have occasion to wear??? I was going to draw out all my ideas and post them along with this post but I have NO time for that so I just looked at some of my favorite store websites (Ae, Anthrapologie, Target..) and found some stuff similar to what I was planning on making.. so here are some pics and my notes/ critique :D




So I like this one but I would make it not in black, and I'd most likely choose a fabric that's not stretchy, more like a cotton rather than a spandaxy-silk. Or whatever u would call this?? I really love the pleats on it ho, and the detail on the top.



I really <3 this dress. I was planning on doing something like this, a baby-doll v-neck w/ buttons. But obviously I'd have to make it modest (i'd probly make it a higher cut, or do some kind of other fabric to cover the assets)



This is the Christmas dress I was talking about. This particular one doesn't look that christamsy but if I did decided to do something like this I'd probly put some red in it somewhere and make it higher. (so i wouldn't be in cleaveland city) I'm not sure about straps tho, I might just get a sweater to go over it or something.


Ok, so this is my least favorite out of all of them. I like the idea a ton, but how they made this one just fits all wrong. Anyway, this is something I'd like wear I don't know where but I think it's cute and fashionable and be fun to make. :D


So please ppl, I need advice!!! I am torn between which dress to make!!! help??

  2. Definitely the one that you'd wear you don't know where ^_^ Just take lots of pictures in it, and have fun with it and it'll all be worth it! And I think you could definitely wear it to church, anyway. *I* personally would even wear it to Compass, but I can just be a little strange like that sometimes... ;o)

  6. I agree with Emily. Though it doesn't have to be exactly like the one in the picture. I think that's the fun of making your own dresses, you can make something totally fun and random. And you already have made a whole bunch of really nice church dresses....
