Hello After making my first bra top inspired by Versace bralette. I couldn't let it go. I decided to make a second one that could resemble the original, I have a original Versace silk fabric and I bought black silk crepe for the lining and all the details that are part of the Versace bralette top. This time I decided to make my own pattern, taking into considerations: 1.- The top has a soft cup, and it only use bra underwire. 2.- The bust pattern do not have 3 parts. It has just two, upper and lower part, the lower part has a dart that helps to get the bust shape. The front body is one piece, side lapped zipper, no bonning, the back part of the bralette: I have seen two versions, the first version its made of 3 pieces of fabric. Second Version: One piece of fashion fabric.  Back of the top made of 3 pieces of fabric Back of the Top made of one piece of fashion fabric I made 5 samples until I was happy with the fitting and shape of the bra cup.

Hello In my wardrobe is hanging a beautiful Dolce and Gabbana bodysuit. Since then I have been looking for a nice Black lace dress, but I really love Dolce and Gabbana lace dresses style, what it's more difficult to like is the price ☹️ In a trip to Barcelona I found a really nice fabric store, I made a inspiration collage which I could show and get help to find a nice lace fabric for my sewing project.  Back from Spain I started to thread mark the pattern, I wanted to be done with the dress before my husband and I anniversary. We have a reservation in a nice french restaurant.

Finally, it's time to sew.  I started sewing the darts. The darts were wide enough for sewing a French seam. After sewing the darts I decided to sew...

Hello Have you seen this top? I really like it and it can be use for any occasion. I bought stretch polyester crepe in white, red and black. I was suppose to make a whole outfit: Pants and top, but the white crepe needed lining and then I changed my mind. I cut RM cyrus top pattern in white and red and I bought RiRi zippers for making this sewing project. Details of RM cyrus top. The collar in this Cyrus model has facing and two side darts The back has two long darts and an end-separating zipper The Top is based on this dress, with the exception that the top of the dress is made with four panels.

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, b...
