Stardust Gown ✨

Image
 So I *finally* started watching the Star Wars movies (I saw the original 3 when I was like 6, but that's it), saw Padme Amidala's outfits AND I listened to a new ethereal meditation playlist in the same week... and the inevitable happened :)  Of course, this dress is not very "Star Wars-y," but the thing I love about Padme's outfits is quiet, ethereal confidence and elegance that she has in them.  My inner elf came out a little bit when making this dress, and it really evolved from my original ideas. But it did give me that very ethereal magical feeling which is what I wanted in the first place. Thanks for letting me share that magic with you! ✨ (Seriously tho, go listen to "Saturn" by Sleeping at Last. Thank me later :))

Quarantine Collection

Image
Hello World! After a summer of social distancing and quarantining, I've emerged with a few new pieces! First off, I watched Amazon's Making the Cut and got soooo much inspiration to design my own outfits. I decided to make two summer dresses. I designed, drafted, and sewed them all on my own (no patterns :D). Here they are! The white dress has bows that tie over the shoulder and another bow tie in the back. The yellow dress has a bow detail on the back and also ties over the shoulder. Of course, I had to make a matching mask... And here's the bow detail in the back They're such simple dresses but they made me so happy! And I hope they make you happy too :)  Thanks for stopping by!

Wendy Darling

Who else relates to Wendy? Caught between childhood and becoming an adult - do I move on or can I stay longer? I know I related to her. And no matter how old I get, I don't think I'll ever grow up entirely ♡♡♡ So I made a Wendy dress at the beginning of the summer and forgot to post about it... oops :) I used a simple pattern for this dress and put elastic around the waist, neck, and sleeves. It was a super simple project I made in the first few weeks of summer after finishing my sophomore year of nursing school, but it pleased my romantic side ♡♡♡ I hope you have a wonderful fall and no matter what happens, remember the second star to the right shines in the night for you... to remind you that your dreams really can come true ♡☆

Vanyar Elven Gown

Image
An elven dress worthy of an elf maiden of the Vanyar. The Vanyar, also known as Fair elves, or Light-elves, were the fairest of all elf-kind, hence the name. I made this light silky gown with silver trim to satisfy my inner elf. The bodice is boned and laces in the back, and I'm really happy with how it fits :) don't mind the road signs :)  also dont mind the van, the lighting was good lol

Maiden Dress

Image
I'm back from semester three of nursing school!!  So I started this thing like three years ago and finally finished it during my Christmas break. The hardest part was all the hand-sewn eyelets down the sides but it super satisfying to lace it up. I used my POTC Elizabeth nightgown for the dress underneath and then made the little overdress out of some ivory calico.  The first eyelet I made three years ago I used blue ribbon because I could :) Side lacing details So I actually made the basket a few years ago too! I feel like this is something Cinderella would wear  before she got "fairy-godmothered" and I like it!! Thanks for reading!!

More Bucky Cosplay Pictures

Image
My bestie and I went out to take more pictures of the Bucky cosplay. It was raining a bit, but I think it added to the aesthetic. I'm so happy I was able to finish and photograph this cosplay before going back to school. Speaking of which, I have to say goodbye for the fall - it's back to nursing school for me! I'll be back over winter break with new ideas - so until then, bye bye! for the record, my aesthetic is still pink fluffy unicorns dancing on rainbows ;)
