Plaid Fall Hooded Jacket (November 1, 2012)Since we had Hurricane Sandy rip through the east coast and I was stuck home, I made a coat! The fabric was salvaged from the soon to be trash of a fabric designer. It was 3 yards and *just* enough. I would have preferred to have it a few inches longer, but you have to make do with what you have sometimes. I tried to match the pattern as best I could considering I had to piece together some of it. The lining was the only thing bought for this jacket and cost all of $10 in garment district. It was sold as a poly print, but it feels like silk and held up to a super hot iron without melting. It might be rayon. There was only 2 yards of this, but because I didn't have to really worry about the pattern, it was enough. The body of the coat was made using Vogue 8346 view A. I omitted the upper collar portion and drafted a hood pattern instead. The hood was attached in the same manner that the upper collar would have originally been. I also lengthened the sleeves, because these patterns always have shorter sleeves on me. The pockets were also made a little wider and deeper. When it's cold, I like my whole hand and wrist to stay warm. I added a belt I already had in my stash and I love how it finished the look. |

Patsy's Wedding Dress and my MOH Dress (April 2011)I was tasked to make Patsy's wedding dress for her Vegas shindig this past April. She is like my sister and I was so excited to get a chance to make her dress for her big day. We went hunting for a dress style that worked best on her and then for fabrics in the city. She finally chose a simple a-line gown with diagonal ruching along the sides that gave a slimming look and was very mod. She looked gorgeous :-D
Since I was making her dress, I figured I'd make my MOH dress to coordinate. I couldn't really afford a David's Bridal gown, and I know I wanted something that would fit me right. I sent Patsy color swatches and she approved a beautiful watermelon pink chiffon and satin with a chocolate satin ribbon bow. The bust is ruched to coordinate with the ruching on her wedding gown. I used the same Vogue pattern I had used for the Marchesa repro, but this time I actually made it somewhat to the pattern. |

My Wedding Dress UPDATE! 05-30-16 (YES, 10 years later!) Pictures of the tulle overskirt I made for the vow renewal dress!
Update! 05-30-06 Finished pictures!
Update! 05-22-06 A few sneak peaks at the almost done dress :-)
Update! 04-20-06 My hoop skirt came in, yay! So I naturally placed the mock-up on top and all the gathers I worked so hard on, looked terrible on the hoop. Soooo, I took them ALL out and re-did them until I was happy with it. I'm gratefull this hoop was adjustable because it was QUITE full when I tried it on lol. I looked like a bell basically. Anyway, I have pics of the new crinoline with the re-done mock-up :-)
Update! 04-18-06 I added photos of the 2nd mock-up dress :-) In two weeks I'll be cutting into the good fabric.
Here are pictures of my dress in the making and all the inspiration along the way. I also have shots of the Bridesmaids dresses here too. |

Kimono I decided to try and create my own Kimono for the Brooklyn Botanical Garden's Cherry Blossom fest. Unfortunately I was unable to go since I was in the middle of packing up to move. I used a pattern from someone on Deviant Art http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&global=1&q=kimono+tutorial#/d1ci40b and their instructions were somewhat easy to follow. Just be sure to measure and take care when cutting fabric that your lines are straight (if not using a Kimono bolt).

DKNY Christmas Dress (December 5, 2008)This is the folder for the progress of my DKNY dress that I'm making for Will's office holiday party. Last year I wore my mother's vintage green dress that I made the clutch, belt, and show clips for. This year I'm going a tiny bit less formal but still stylin ;-) Silk Charmeuse and Silk Chiffon come together with Silk satin ribbon accents. This is a dress I can wear after the party as regular casual wear. It can be dressed up or down :-)

Purple Greecian Goddess (April 2, 2008)This is a dress for my auditions for Project runway. I wanted to show one of my costumes, a RTW, and an evening. I've always loved the drape and feel of silk chiffon over a layer of charmeuese, so that's what this dress is made of. A beautiful plum charmeuese under layer with a black silk chiffon overlay, and a silk flower at the shoulder, it will be 'tied' with a satin ribbon or a ruched chiffon belt, I haven't quite decided yet.

Project Runway Challenge Dress (March 9, 2008)I based this of a challenge idea to create a garment based off an animal. I chose my cat, Leia, as my inspiration. The dress has a vintage flair to it while still remaining modern. The burnout velvet is similar in sheen to Leia's fur and the charmeuse was her favorite to eat ;-) She reminds me of 1950's lady, she sits up straight with that coy look in her eyes. |

Dresses and Clothing Hawaiian Print Dress 2013 The fabric was purchased while in Hawaii at the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet. It's a super soft and light cotton. The pattern was altered from Vogue V1094 heavily. I really only used it for dart placement on the bodice. The skirt is 4 panels and is blind hemmed in place. The bodice is lined in a natural cotton.
Rayon/Cotton Jersey Maxi Dress - 2010 Made from fabric purchased at Mood. Keenan and Kellie got me a gift certificate to there, otherwise I would never be able to afford that place. Made from Vogue Pattern V8470.
Linen Halter Dress - 2007 Made from an embroidered linen that my mother gave me and a pattern that I drafted based on another dress I own. |
