This is Mean Street

So, this dress was originally intended to be for my boyfriend's debut in a gallery... unfortunately, I didn't finish it in time, but I did eventually finish it this past fall.

I'm really proud of how it came out, since this was entirely done with my own patterns and I'd never done something so structured like this before with only my own patterns.

I just wish it was machine washable...

And Wonderland had gone to hell...

So, I wanted to learn how to do a ruffled bottom for a gathered skirt, and had this Hello Kitty fabric laying around. The result was this skirt: Scarf, jacket: thrifted Headbow: Claire's Wig: from a local wig shop Cutsew: BtSSB Tights: off brand Shoes: Payless Rings: off brand So happy I got to wear it out for apple picking back in Fall 2011. It was really fun and comfy! It's also machine washable, like most of my hand-made peices. It was a learning experience, so I'm glad I so the project through even though I'm not entirely crazy about it. It's not that I dislike it, it's just not something I have an interest wearing again anytime soon.

Sixteen Candles

This outfit is from a day back in September when I was out running errands.
I'm going to try more documentation of my outfits and sewing. Because people do ask... alot.

Jacket: thrifted
Dress: BtSSB Princess Shirring JSK
Scarf: thrifted
Headband: BtSSB from the Princess Shirring set
Fishnets and red tights: Leg Avenue
Boots: Doc Martens (I miss them. They wore out. ;_;)

Huzzah!

I'm thinking of making this more of a fashion blog, once I get my camera up.

I'm currently working on a lolita-style JSK with a christmasy pattern. It's kinda cool.

Recent thrift finds have been a pair of Doc Marten's, a pair of earrings, a ring and two red sweaters. I've been looking EVERYWHERE for a nice red cardigan, so two is even better! Also, Doc Martens, what? I've spent almost every pay day of the last two years going to Hootananny's and staring at their collection, but never going for it.

More to come?
