I Made A Dress: Gemstones


Omg guyz I made another dress. And get this: I took my time. Even more astonishing, it helped?!

I am actually hella proud of this one, I tried a new skirt technique that it turns out I love, and I (drumroll) hand printed the fabric! Go ahead, tell me it's great! I know it!


So this is a preview of what you'll be seeing a shitton of from me this year, as it's how I'll be doing my senior thesis. Assuming I get it approved but don't worrydont worry itll be fiiiiiiiinnne. So I will go ahead and tell you my biggie mistake with this one. I used too short of a zipper and it's pretty hard to pull it on over my boobs.


I was giving Kit a hug because he told me he really like the printing work and color scheme.



Also you guys is it weird or what that I am making money?? I am not complaining, no way, it's just a really different feeling for me! I am so lucky to have my internship and have people paying for my art. Thank you guys so much for being so supportive!

Speaking of money though, I like, can't stop buying things. I've recently discovered the sale section at Asos, and I've been creeping through etsy as well!



Okay enough photos now! I am going to try my hand at some crop tops and tanks that I'll hand print to sell.

dress: handmade by me
shoes, shirt, bag, hat: thrifted
necklace: forever 21
