dress

making, packing and mailing

By



I’m sure you are sick of seeing this cut out back dress by now. I don’t even remember how many of them I made so far! I promise I will post something else soon, I have a lot of different ideas for new dress designs, and I am actually sketching the designs (which is pretty rare for me, lazy..), and I also want to do a post on a list of fabric shops in Philly.

But for now, I’m sewing, ironing, cutting our fabrics, ironing again, then packing and mailing! Packing the completed dresses is my favorite part of the whole thing. I love the sense of accomplishment.

May! Sunny days! and Flowers!

In Japan, we call a person who always get rain on dates, events or any important days “Ame Onna” – “Rain woman”. It is as if the person brings the rain with her to wherever she goes.
Luckily, I think I’m the opposite..”Hare Onna” – sunny woman! As soon as I get back to Japan, we started to get sunny weather.. hehe:p Maybe it’s just a coincidence, but still, sunny weather makes me happy. The past couple of days has been just beautiful!

Here is what I made and added to the shop recently. You can tell that I’m obsessed with open back?! I did something different for the dress on the top. I cut it differently and added a row of buttons for closure. I bought both fabrics in Philly.

Top: Back buttons dress
Bottom: Cut out dress

Something I worked on last week..

By

This is something I worked on last week. I never went for yellow clothes, because of my skin color, but I really do like this yellow floral print I found here in Philadelphia. It’s very Springy and I would actually wear yellow if it’s something like this.

I’m counting down days till I get to go back home, and I can’t wait to get there, since it’s my birthday! What a treat to be picked up by my beloved husband on my birthday after a month of separation.
