RTW Designer Knockoff Contest!!!!!

Well tonight is the final night to enter our completed project for this wonderful contest. Since I am such a fan of dress I shared earlier that I was challenging myself to make that Givenchy dress. Well I finally completed it and the results are as follow...........

     

Well was it easy ...............Ummmmmmm Yes EXCEPT that DARN RUFFLE. It gave me a complete headache LOL, I wanted it to look exactly like the photo and boy it gave me a time. I googled it and found some pics of it worn by Kim Kardashian and Ashley Green.

The dress itself was very easy, I used Vogue 8787 skirt bottom and I drafted my top and the peplum. Of course I had to draft that RUFFLE that darn RUFFLE. It was fun and challenging.......REALLY CHALLENGING.....Almost entered without the ruffle LOL. But I kept on fighting and finally I gave in when I thought it looked good enough.......I'm still not satisfied with it but my sister insisted that it looked fine.

And because I waited until the very LAST minute to submit my work ....Low and BEHOLD my camera started acting FUNNY.....so I'm not very pleased with my photos either but oh well did not want all that hard work to go down the drain.

Hope you love it and VOTE for me!!!!!!! xoxoxo

Pattern Review Contest!!!!

YAHOOOOOO!!!!!!


Okay ready to sew as if I ever stop ........I have sooooo many projects that I have to share (LAZY). I have to take the time a get all dressed up or I actually wait until I have some where to go and then I take my pics.

Well since I am the type that works best under pressure and deadlines, I am excited about entering this Pattern Review Contest. So far I have two dresses in mind both are Peplum style my first choice is Elie Sabb..................

And my second choice is Givenchy

And YES I am totally confused!!!!!! I have a wedding to attend in March, so originally I planned on making one of the two. Pattern review contest came right on time so I decided to join. And I didn't want to let myself down by purchasing a dress when I could simply make the one that I prefer.

Well here goes I figure I will use pieces from Vogue 8787. Since I love the fit of the skirt portion this will work and as far as the top is concerned I will self-draft it.

Started my the bottom portion...............By the way this is a lovely Plum color fabric that I purchase for $1.50 a yard from Walmart. I usually would by the cheap fabric and use them for my MUSLIN. But I really like this fabric.......its sort of a polyester/rayon with a little stretch....its actually pretty! Especially for the PRICE!!!

 As I go I will make up my mind on whether I should do the Givenchy or the Elie Sabb. Decisions decisions decisions...........well Hope you all have a blessed day!!!!
