My Versace bralette version (Cropped bustier)

Hello

I am fan of neon colors. This summer I bought finally a neon green dress and a neon pink long stretchy dress. A good neon green stretch fabric is not easy to find.

S/S 2019 Versace collection had neon pink and yellow, I love it. Also 80's style pants with a modern twist, tighter and gold zippers with the medusa logo that is the stamp of Versace.
I used a pattern called Esplanade bra. I did small modifications: Instead of using the bra hook-ups I used a side end-separating zipper, versace bralette has a soft cup with underwire, I decided to use foaming cup in my one. 



I used power net/mesh as my base. Stretch white cotton satin as lining and a colourful jersey as fashion fabric.




I learned alot making this bralette top. As the first time I should have done a sewing sequence, because on the road I found challenges that could have been avoided. 






I really did this sewing project more difficult than it should have been, but I love it, it has been a great project to sew. The stretch of each fabric was not the same. That was not good. The 3 layers of fabric plus the foam, that was tough to sew.  

I really want to do a second one, with a beautiful versace silk I have, with soft underwire cup and lapped zipper like the original bralette was done.





I have also sewn the pants, http://myfashionhobbie.blogspot.com/2019/07/my-versace-tapered-pants-version-ss-2019.html

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

Image
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...
