What I wore to class last week 🪡🧵

Look 1: @moodfabrics Oleander Dress #mdf246 I like to add a stripe that matches the bodice towards the hem of the skirt to tie it all together.

Look 2: Self-Drafted double circle skirt. Paired with color coordinated pulled my the AOP.

Bonus! Out of print #S8051 at College of Dupage’s Annual Fashion Show featuring @nicolecruiz executive director at @aibichicago!

What I wore to class last week 🧵🪡

Look 1: #B6746 view E (I made mine 2.0” longer than the pattern), this was the second sewing project that my class made. I picked this amazing leopard print cotton from @thewasteshed! I also made a matching headband to match.

Bonus look: There was a Faculty Appreciation Day Luncheon and knew my #v2040 wrap dress was perfect to wear to the occasion.

Look 2: Patchwork look I made out of 10 years of fabric scraps using @moodfabrics Spearmint Corset #mdf310 and a self drafted adjustable skirt. I have a video explaining the self drafted skirt on my page.

My friends and I go to @chicagofashioncoalition “Chicago Does the Met” every year. For this event I always challenge myself to either revamp a look I already have or make one with reclaimed/upcycled materials. 🪡🧵

I thrifted the black decor fabric back in January at @purplemanateeresale and decided to make a look based on costume history to align with the exhibit itself. I wanted to go with a more Middle Ages inspired look but there was not enough fabric for that so I went with a mid-century inspired gown since I know I would get another use out of it for a future pinup pageant. 👑

The green fabric was white organza curtains that were laying around my house that my assistant Hunny Dog and I took apart and dyed using @ritdye Peacock Green Dyemore Synthetic Dye. 🦚 Which turned out to be the perfect shade of mid century green. 💚

I picked up the embellishments for the @aibichicago Fabric Sale! 🥰
