Day Dress

I woke up yesterday feeling bleh xp..... So i decided to sew!
The last few things I've made took me days to complete, but with this I set out to complete in the day (^thats what i mean by day dress)
Woke up around 11 and began around noon and finished by 7:30. ^.^b (and took a lunch break and discovered one of those "everything bagels"-it was everything missing from my life!...jk no, Im not thaat lame,  but it was really good :q) Anyways~
 It is a simple light summer dress, I made the patterns myself. (I make all my patterns out of my dad's old newspapers)

The fabric my uncle got me from Bangladesh a while back, I made a dress for my mom with it, I never really noticed the textile design on it, till now. I like it :)
I see on other blogs and stuff other sewers and how they photograph their work, whether they're modeling them with pretty photo shoots *u* , or have them propped up on hangers etc~ I just took these with my dinky webcam V^V... I suck at taking photos- sorry I gota learn.  What are good places and times to take pics outside? I'm very limited in this apartment I live in with 5 other people...

But anyways here the dress :D
(p.s. I dont have any formal training in sewing and garment construction so I dont know many technical terms :x )

This is top of it, I spent maybe 2 hours just staring at the fabric trying to figure out which part would be best suited for this --___--.. well i finally chose this swirl part and followed the curve for the collar line (thats right I didn't make a loopy straight collar by accident)

 And the rest of it! lots of swirls @.@

It's not puffy :/- what can I say I like to spin in big circle skirts~ But it's cool :), this i can actually wear through the streets of nyc!

I was glad that Im getting the hang of make my garments fit!
Garments should fit People.
I dont own a manikin, I just use me :)

Yes my room messy- but today is relatively clean compared to other days.
Yes thats a Hellokitty doll and the yellow thing is Pikachu's butt, which is next to my stuffed elephant's butt

I certainly wana make more like this dress, and hopefully the pics will get better too :)

Thanks for reading!

Urmmi's dress Complete and worn!

I've been sick :< so this post is late.
But here it is!!!

 The sleeves look simple..but took me a while xnx....

 I photographed it on my door, it might not look it here but the skirt is HUGE its a circle skirt, and looks like a tent.

 That's a detail of the bottom of the dress, I added this lace along the bottom ^ thats the white line seen in that pic cutting across the red~

 This is her!!!!!! My older sis Urmmi >.> I hope you dont mind I put your  photo up <3 Your pretty you can't blame me :P She held still for me :D!- trust me that means a lot. That yellow collar thing is from her graduation gown. That day was hot cold rainy dry alll in one.

 ....I wanted to take pics of her looking lovely in the dress, but .... she is a squirmy kid who makes faces in majority of photos taken of her.

Im glad she gave one nice pic of her in just the dress :P <3 I like this photo

More later once I stop coughing and clean my room --__--...
Thanks for stopping by!
Goodnight all :)
