New Refashioned Dress

Hi there, I've got something new for you today. :) I found this lovely dress in a charity shop and I thought I might refashion it a bit and bring it back to life.

Here is how it used to look like:

 All I did was to cut the length in front and make a round neckline with some gem trims.

 A closer look to the trim and the neck line:

Ta daah!

So what do you think?

Refashioning Flower Dress

Hi there! I've got another little refashion for you.

I found this old dress and decided to give it new life.

I start cutting along the under bust line and around the neck and removed the whole top part. I used the neck line stitches for straps and just hemmed the rest of the fabric and Voila!

 he dress is now shorter and fits better.

I hope you liked it!

The Dress! :)

Well I'm finally ready with my wedding dress! I'm so happy with it, it turned out just as I planned. :)

There will be a little change on the dress, but it's a surprise, you'll see it on the wedding photos. :)

I'll post a tutorial soon how to copy the dress. I hope you liked it!

See you soon! xx

DIY: Little Black Dress Refashion

I've got this lovely little black dress from a friend of mine. But it was too small around the bust for me, so I refashioned it a bit. :) This is what it used to look like:

 And this is the result:

All I did was to remove the sleeves and stitch a lace trim around. Then mark the point where the zip is not closing anymore and stitch more lace from that point to the neck line. At the end I just attached a piece of black elastic to hold the edges of the neck line. And Voila! The dress is now my size. :)

I hope you liked it!

DIY: 2 in 1 Dress And Skirt

I've got an easy DIY tutorial for you today. It's about how to make a pretty summer dress and a skirt. All you need is: 

2 pieces of white lycra for the body and  to cut a circle piece from chiffon fabric. If you have some of the chiffon fabric left keep it for now - we're gonna use it for the decoration. Sew the both lycra pieces along the side.

Then attach the chiffon circle piece and stitch again. I left the edges raw and distress them with a needle. 

The leftovers from the chiffon cut into small circles.

Gather them and stitch onto the top part of the dress.

And Voila! You can wear it as a pretty summer dress. 

Or a skirt.

I hope you've enjoyed it! See you soon!

My DIY Wedding

I'm getting married! After being engaged for almost 2 years we've decided it's about time! :) Next week we're going to pick up a date at the register office. So I have to start working! I'm gonna make everything I can myself. Starting with the most complicated steps of all - deciding what dress I want.

Step 1: Picking up the dress design. So excited!

 It's gonna be something like this. :) I've decided that I want mermaid style dress with lots of lace.

Step 2: Almost done with the flowers... What do you think?

Step 3: Picking up the shoes...

Step 4:  Actually start making the dress. :) 

This is the petticoat I've just made!

So what do you think?!

New dress DIY

Tutorial for a nice gold/pink dress.

I used glittery gold stretchy fabric and pink lycra. 

And a bit of beige lace trim for the shoulders.

This is how it looks on each side.

After you cut out the top and the skirt part as shown on the picture, sew them together.

Just add the lace trim along the shoulder.

It's very easy and looks really elegant.

Thank you for the reading! See you soon! :)

Sneak Peek :)

 Leopard print is everywhere lately :)

And this is what I came up with. I love how it looks, it's perfect for the summer nights out.

DIY tutorial coming soon!

Thanks for stopping by!

True colors...

I had this 2 tops from the last summer and I got pretty bored of them :)

So for this summer I'll do a bit of re-style. :)

Just cut and remove the straps from the first top ( I'm gonna use them for something else soon...)

Sew the "skirt" part with the other top...

... and Voila! Colorful summer dress!

Just add a hair clip for decoration. I actually have loads of them so every time I wear the dress I can add a different flower.

Thanks for stopping by! See you soon! :)

DIY: Easy Peplum Dress

I've been lazy for a while and abandoned my DIY projects... I've decided it's about time to make something interesting. :)

All you need is couple of different colored fabric. I picked up stretchy one with nice pattern.

Prepare the fabric pieces. After you fold and sew each part, attach the first 3 together.

Part 4 is the peplum.

I put elastic in the peplum, but I didn't attached it to the dress, so now I can wear it  both ways - with or without.

I hope you enjoyed it!

Thank you for the reading! :)

Time for Party :)

Here are some party dresses made by me.

I'm not much of a going out clubbing gal, but I still enjoy the dressing up part. :) I like to have something unique and different and that's why I prefer to make my own outfit for a special occasion. I hope you'll like my creations!

Thank you for the reading! :)

Long and Elegant

 ... Well this is it :) This is what I actually do - handmade dresses and club wear outfits. I'm doing this for the last couple of years, learning in the process and trying to sort out my own business. Everything I make is hand stitched and unique. I don't use sewing machine, patterns or a measure tape, just pick up some fabric grab my scissors and a needle with tread. Hope you will like my creations!

High Fashion for £5 :)

We all know what high fashion means and that Roberto Capucci, Chanel, Lanvin, Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Pierre Cardin, Jean-Paul Gaultier etc. are just some of the names in the trend-setting fashion. And we all know what's the price we have to pay to wear something unique and exclusive. Well, I've decided to conquer that! This is my inspiration!

The perfect winter dress!

Lanvin Puff Sleeve Winter Dress

And this is how mine looks!

:)  And it costs me only £5! 

If you love knitting you'll just need black yarn.

(I already had my top from the last winter and it cost £3 for the yarn)

You'll also need black shiny mesh fabric - I've got this at the local market, the price is £2 per meter.

Fold and gather the fabric.

I don't use sewing machines, simply because I don't know how :) so everything is hand stitched.

Attach the gathered part at the top of the shoulder and stitch the

both sides around the sleeve.

And your new Lanvin Puff Sleeve Dress is ready!

Thank you for the reading!
