Hey guys! This is very late as this was the last look I made. This is a simple bandu top made of 100% cotton, and a maxi skirt made from a polyester spandex blend, both fabrics canary yellow. I’m sorry, I forgot to upload it, so here you go! Thanks for viewing!

Oh you thought you were getting only 1 post? NAH. We don’t do it like that here. This next doodle I’m about to show you is a sketch of this current look I have finished. The name? It’s a secret for now, but you’ll find out soon. Take a look:
Cool, right? Thank you. Ahem
The model is wearing a shawl made from an oriental print red and black brocade fabric, a black A-line dress made from a polyester-nylon blend, both pieces adorned with gold trimming. I honestly have to say this sketch is another one of my favorites. Definitely gonna have to swipe my board this year when it’s over. Thank you for tuning in!

Okay so I know it has been SUCH a long time since posting! I’m so sorry, but there’s no excuse: I’m lazy. However, I am back with some new content!!
So lately I have been improving on my dress/skirt sketching skill, and in the span of two weeks I think I’m pretty good. Let me show you a few of my sketches!
Those were just a few I’ve worked on, but there are more sketches I’m doing now. Thank you for waiting this long, I know you just can’t go on without entertainment(cough joking). There’s more to come so stay tuned!
Hey! Sorry guys it’s been awhile since I’ve posted. I’ve been kinda lazy(Forgive me!). But now I’m back, so let’s discuss one of my guilty pleasures in fashion. Metallic fabrics. What else is there to say? They’re fabulous, bold, and shiny! I mean just putting one metallic garment on makes you look like a style expert. How far does wearing metallic go back? Well to no surprise, metallic apparel has been in human history. How so? Well at first it was just used as decorations for thousands of years. Continue reading
Finally, I know right? Well this one is here! Well I used the purple and blue flowers, but honestly this one feels different.
Stripes: good or bad? To some, it’s all the rage. To others, it makes them rage. Honestly I just got an A line dress with wide, horizontal stripes, so I’m kinda on the fence about it. Yes, it does make you look bigger( thanks optical illusions), but there are ways to tone the effects of stripes down.
For all stripes, you have to know your figure. That’s for any pattern, really, but let’s stick with stripes. If you are heavy set, small, pin stripes might not be for you. Really thick stripes emphasize form too, so try in between for a better look. An easy direction I’ve seen is people wearing them horizontally. Since your eyes are effected by stripes, wear them tilted. This way, your eyes can be less confused and make out your real figure better.
Size of the stripes also matter. From my last article Patterns Matter, the size can go a long way. I mean, there are sometimes this rule doesn’t exist, like going the extra mile with wide or thin stripes. But for beginners such as myself, just stick with one type of stripe or have it as an emphasis piece.
Stripes are very fun to see, even for a person who doesn’t own that many striped garments. Besides there almost one of the founding fathers for prints and patterns.A bonus? Stripes are super trendy in spring and summer, so happy striping!
Ah, finally done the sewing calamity. Now time to make the vision board
*internal groan*
Here I go again sewing
Sorry you guys, I’ve been really busy and still will be until next Sunday. Right now I’m working on a project, but because I have no skirt pattern, I’m using one my own skirts.
Pray it works out
