i finally got around to taking some photos of a few of my recent projects. the first dress is a dress i designed for my Sustainable Fashion class in school - my goal was to create a convertible dress that was something classic and cute enough that people would actually wear it. I feel like most convertible clothing is more novelty clothing than actual wearable fashion, and i wanted to create something that was timeless, neutral enough in color and style that it could withstand several seasons, but still cute enough that it isn't boring. I ended up making this Little Black Dress out of linen. it has 4 drawstrings running at different heights so it can be made into an empire waist, a high-waist, a drop waist or a bubble hem. Or, of course, you can play around with pulling more than one drawstring at a time! I'm excited with how it came out, although there are a few things i'd change if i made it again - maybe add a little length, and some cap sleeves!
from the front, with no drawstrings pulled
from the side, with all the drawstrings pulled
here's a couple photos of some skirts i've made out of some fabric i LOVE, i'm really into checks and stripes right now and these skirts have been so fun to make. also, i have enough fabric to make more of each of these skirts so definitely let me know if you'd like to custom order one!

that is extremely creative, i love the idea
i LOVE the blue and white skirt! its not too nautical because its a periwinkle blue, and the stripes are all perfectly horizantal - looks nice.
