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

I made this dress a while ago but never got around to post it on my blog. I thought of posting it today, because I miss my husband terribly and I want to give him all my hearts, kisses and love!

I still have 2 and a half weeks in the States by myself, and I think the latter half will be hard for me..

Anyway, I intended to make this dress with crossed straps in the back. I kind of drafted the patterns for the back, but the straps ended up being too short, it was like a kid’s dress, and there was no way that a grown-up woman can wear.
Even worse, I did not have enough fabric left to make another set of straps. These kind of things happen to me all the time when I’m sewing. Sometimes things don’t go as I plan.

So instead, I made it a halter neck, and added a strap thingy(?) in the back, with a covered button closure.
The result was not what I initially designed, but I like it. The back straps give an extra support as well:) m
