Well, this post could also bear the title “Metamorphosis” since it’s about a pant that became a skirt in the process. It’s actually one of the first items that I made at the beginning of my sewing adventure back in 2010. It was supposed to look like this (beautiful, isn’t it? I love almost everything by this Burdastyle member), but because my fabric choice, a fine blue silk, wasn’t appropriate – it turned out to be too shear for a pant, I decided to make a lined skirt out of it. Happy holidays everybody!

Here’s the Black Bow Bubble dress – the BBB dress.
It features a bow to tie on the back.
It’s one of the items of my Etsy shop. Have a sweet Sunday!

METAMORPHOSIS DRESS
This new dress is special to me. I loved making the printings on its back and inner bottom. It was the first time I used the linocut technique and for sure not the last. In order to give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, I would like to thank the talented Lisa Gachet from Make my lemonade because she had made a similar dress a while ago. Even if I drew my own babydoll dress pattern, I was inspired by her stunning blue version with white lips.
This time I also made a short video – also a first attempt – to show the dress in motion. You can hear “Cover me” (Dillinja Mix) by Björk.
Here is the carved linoleum and the butterfly figure I used to print by hand the dress.
Échec et mat dress
Here’s a dress that I sewed last Summer. I used a stretch synthetic fabric with a matt finish. It has a smooth and fresh feeling on the skin.
