Pokemaniac

This is a dress I made.
And in my hand are the broken remains of my bracelet that I accidentally snapped while taking off my cardigan. Don't worry, I fixed it! When I pulled over on the side of the road to take these pictures it was a little colder and winder than I would have liked.
I did originally have a story for you guys about getting yelled at by a cop, but I accidentally deleted the post and now I don't want to retell it. Don't worry, it wasn't that great. Instead, I'll talk about one of the things that defined my childhood. I picked this topic at random just now.

Pokemon! Everyone loved Pokemon at my daycare when I was a kid. Me more than most. I have at least one game from every series, and my card collection is only missing Zapdos and Venasaur (from the original 151). I think I deserve bragging rights. Though the games don't change much in ways other than newer graphics or sillier sounding Pokemon, they'll always hold a special place in my heart, and I'll always buy the new ones. Sometimes there's nothing I want more than to go off on an adventure and just catch 'em all.
And can I just say how excited I am that over 50 people think this blog is worth reading? Seriously.

  1. Aww, your dress is lovely! Name it the Lavender Town Dress in honor of your Pokemon love. ;)

    I was a huuuge pokemon nerd when I was a kid and am only slightly less nerdy about it nowadays. My bf and I have been debating whether we should get B&W 2. Still haven't finished the original B&W yet though :S

  2. The dress is so beautiful, love the petal idea so much! You are such a talented seamstress, do you usually use a pattern? I have still yet to try to make something from scratch!

    1. Thankyou! It would be an easy DIY to do to a plain dress, too!

      I'm actually really crappy at patterns haha. I normally just wrap things around my mannequin and cut and sew from there.
