Misadventures in Sewing: My First Dress

 

So under the direction of my mother, I made my first dress. It took almost all day, but it was a labor of love. I do love clothes. She is a tough teacher. But I must admit, even if no one else thinks it, that the dress is beautiful. Perfect for summer time and it was the perfect Sunday morning dress.  

 

So I can't cut to save my life. 

 I realize I prefer hand sewing to machine.

 The dress was almost finished here but not completely.

THE FINISHED PRODUCT YAYYYYYY!!!!

I HAVE THIS PROBLEM MY MOTHER LIKES TO POINT OUT, I PRETTY MUCH WEAR ANYTHING NEW AS SOON AS I GET IT. THE SAME CAN BE SAID ABOUT THIS DRESS. I WORE IT TODAY, TO CHURCH.

Question: Should I include tips on sewing since I am a beginner? Maybe what I learn could benefit someone else.

I need this dress in my life. I stumbled upon it while doing my daily reading at Fashion Bomb Daily. The dress is from the Spring/Summer selection of Halston's. The shoes that Halle Berry wore were Christian Louboutin's Anna sandal.

Fashion Diary: Midnight Dream.....

So it has been a while since I have done a fashion diary. This one is more for me than anything else.  This dress was made for me. I feel like it is classically beautiful and whimsy all at the same time. The nude shoes are Bamboo. I am so happy I finally got a pair. The photographs are a mixture of my phone and my camera.

I am proud of Keri Hilson

Hello all,
I hope your weekend is going well. I have a lot on mind lately so I felt like blogging about a few things. I haven't done a fashion diary in a while. So that will have to be the next order of business. Quick update: I have my camera back. So the picture quality of my photographs will be a lot better. Yayyyy!!!

On to business. Keri Hilson is really standing out to me lately. She is always sexy and while her style is not exactly my style, I always appreciate it. But lately Ms. Keri has been striking my fancy. I am terrible at describing styles but if I must, I will say that her looks on the red carpet lately have had a glamorous vintage feel.
