I’ve wanted to take this course for a while now, but because of location differences I decided to settle for the online ‘The Couture Dress’ course by Susan Khalje on Craftsy. I started the class tutorials a few weeks ago and just recieved the pattern (Vogue V8648) in the mail today. It will probably be modified significantly, but looks like a good basic to start with, and I love how she teaches! Can’t wait to really get started on this project now. Next step..design and fabric choices!
les tissus de Paris
Récemment j’ai été à Paris, donc vous pouvez êtres sûr que le premier chose que j’ai voulu faire a été de va en cherchant des beaux tissus. Ca n’été pas facile (et encore pas un expérience joyeux) mais j’ai trouvé certains qui sont vraiment fantastique. Lesqulles aux photos sont: le soie dupion léger en mauve pour faire une jupe fourreau avec taille haute pour le printemps et l’été. Le merveilleux soie en rose vif est pour une belle robe. Visez le main, formidable! (je doit penser encores du design pour ça….ça coûte très chère donc ça doit être parfait!). Et le double organza blanc va probablement créer une chemise mignonne pour moi-même. Je vais peut-être jouer avec des teintures naturelles pour faire un effet fondu.

Recently I was in Paris, so you know the first thing I wanted to do was to go in search of beautiful fabrics. It wasn’t easy (nor was it a fun experience) but I found some fantastic fabrics in the long run. The few in the photos here are: light-weight silk in mauve for a high-waisted pencil skirt for the spring and summer. The wonderful bright pink silk is for a long gown. Check out the hand to this, amazing! (I need to think over the design, it was way too expensive so it must be perfect!). And the double organza in white will probably turn into a cute chemise for moi. I may play around with some natural dyes to give it a fading effect.
Yasmin – On My Own
I have to post about this video to kick off the site because it sets the tone pretty well! Not only is this girl talented and super cute, but she has amazing fashion sense too. Check out Yasmin’s video to see her adorably chic and simple outfits and her beautiful makeup. If you’re familiar with her other videos, you’ll know that she does couture very well too.
