Neon colourful dresses

Hola! Hello! Hei!

I come from a warm country.  The whole year is summer. I never thought about Seasons until I moved out to Europe. Where I live it is very cold during winter and summer can be very good or very bad. The way people dress up seems to depend on the season, colourful during spring/summer and neutral during autumn/winter.

When I see around me, most of the norwegians dress up in  neutral colours, very few will dare to dress up in bright colours specially if those colours are VERY bright. When I have the chance to go to a work-party 95% dress-up in black, When I ask why black? the common answer is: It's safe.!

Don't take me wrong, I dont have anything against black, I have black clothes, but to dress completely in black, it's a NO, NO for me.

My personal opinion is that colours has many powerful characteristics: They make you happy, they enhance you, you can also cheer up the day to others, etc.

I dress colours the whole year, I don't care about seasons, as long as I match my colour properly and the whole outfit looks great.

I am not really into neutral colours, I feel tasteless, but that's just me, it doesn't mean that others can not look great. I have seen girls dressing in neutral colours and they look fabulous. The thing with neutral colours is that they are not for me. My Life is too colorful.!!

By the way, talking about colours, here are my neon colourful dresses. Smile.!

Theory Neon Blue dress



The dress from Roksanda came originally with sleeves, but I took them away because I am not fan of 3/4 sleeve, and they were too big for my taste.

And my favourite of all my colourful dresses, specially because it can be used with different colours of shoes or handbags is.....

My TIBI Skirt version

Image
Hello Everyone.! As the title says this sewing project was inspired by the Silk faille skirt from TIBI. This skirt was a boom between bloggers, in colours red and lime green,  but when I checked the website of TIBI you also can find it in black.  I did'nt have Silk faille fabric but I remember that I did have taffeta which I bought long time ago. So, I decided to sew my own version. The pictures were took at my work place and there was so much wind, it was crazy, but here it is my Tibi skirt version           I dont know how Silk faille fabric behave but I can say that Taffeta is not the best option, it gets wrinkle very easy and you must use something under to avoid static electricity. And as I said the wind was crazy....       See you until my next article.

My Roland Mouret Neon Green Betley Top version

Image
Hei In my fabrics stash I did have some pieces of neon green crepe fabric. I love that color, and I did really want to do a Top with it. So, I managed to do a Top based on the dress from Roland Mouret called Betley, but I didn't have enough fabric for me to  be able to make the front part  in one piece that's why you see the top front part made of two pieces sew together. (Picture 1), the original do not have it. Picture 1   Picture 2   I didn't want the front part to be open in the belly area. I did also a small change in the back.   It's done...!

My Roland Mouret Lush dress version

Hello Long time without making a post. I was on holidays in the sunny Creta. A while ago I bought a medium cotton woven fabric. I dont know how to describe the colour it's like dark fuchsia but not even sure. I did find quite hard to get a nice thread that could match the color of the fabric and even a zipper, so I decided to use black thread for contrasting with the dark fuchsia. The fabric was prewashed, pressed, the grain was squared-off for every piece of the dress to be cut. I must say that this fabric felt heavy during the sewing process. But I managed. I am quite happy with the result. In a previous post I uploaded a picture of the making process of the RM lush dress. http://myfashionhobbie.blogspot.no/2014/07/what-am-i-doing-nowadays.html When I was satisfied with the fitting of the whole etoile, the next step was to cut the pieces in the cotton woven fabric. Pieces of the dress I ordered the RIRI zipper from USA, and when I came back from Greece I have
