Third Look Done!

Hey guys, as promised I have completed another look for my collection. I was able to sit down and really think about what I wanted to put with the quilted white capelet that I had already made and came up with something that I was really excited about. After playing with the skirt that I had previously made and decided that I didn't like on my dress form, I came up with a solution. I decided to make the skirt into a dress.... I know it sounds a little weird but it really worked out! I wanted to add a cut out on the front of the dress and quilt that as well as the sleeves. I also slightly gathered the back into the back of the original skirt. When the changes are written down, they don't sound like they would not work at all, so instead of just telling you what I did, I am going to show you as well. Here are some pictures to make sense out of what I just described.

I used a textured, light brown jersey that I quilted with the metallic thread for the upper portion and sleeves of the dress and then a solid dark brown jersey for the body. I am really excited about how this dress turned out and when I put it together with the capelet it looks complete. Accessory wise for this look, I am thinking of making and mixing layered bracelets with mixed materials.

I am going to begin turning my attention to some of the accessories at this point and start creating them as well because the more I think about them, the more excited I get to make them. I will still be working on the outfits as well. Make sure you check back to see what I am up to!
