A Realistic Chic Design
Goal accomplished! Woop! Just completed my first commission! After posting about a fun little day spent making a dress for a friend, see here, a very lovely lass contacted me and asked me to design and sew a summer dress for her. She told me her favourite colours, I thought up a few ideas, pitched my design to her in a meeting we had just before heading to Dressew together, et voila! A one-of-a-kind Realistic Chic dress which I've decided to name: "A Date with Polka-Dots."
Here is the croqui:
And the finished garment:
Well, this officially crosses another item off my 101 in 1001 list! Stay tuned for more summer originals by yours truly over the coming weeks!
P.S. I really really need a serger but they're way too expensive new, and they even go for $150 used on Craigslist. Sigh. Bday gift, anyone? I'll be 21 (again) in just a couple weeks...

I'm a huge fan of that back-bow style, and I love the fact that you made the sash detachable. That leaves the option for other colours, like a bright yellow <3! I have a proposal for you! I can buy you a serger (or at least help you get one) in exchange for some kind of custom article of clothing? Note: I might challenge you with strange ideas (like odd materials, ruffles or rouching?) You up for it?
Of course I am! You name it, I will do my utmost to make it happen. I envision the turquoise sash being replaceable with other colours too: bright yellow for sure, but also cherry red, bright green and even a fat brown leather belt.
You just named every colour I thought of when I wrote other colours! The brown leather belt would be awesome for fall :]
adorable dress!
Have you heard of a site called Lookville? I think you'd really enjoy it if youre not there already. I'll see if I can send you the invite through your email.. if it's on here. It's a fashion site where ppl post pictures of looks and others comment if they like, dislike, whats needed, etc. It's really neat.
