The Elisalex Dress

The latest dress I've made is this dress pattern by By Hand London...a new fave. I know it seems like I say an outfit I just made is always a fave, but I do find that I improve a little bit more with each project so it becomes one I really love. But this dress, you guys....seriously a LOVE.

By Hand London Elisalex Dress
 I honestly thought after the first fitting that this would be too small and would not fit, but I opted to still finish it, and what do you know? It fit perfectly after everything was done!


worn with an old H&M heels

In progress:


Hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend!

I would totally wear this piece -- it fits quite nicely. And I love the progress pics. They show that the dress would also have been a really cute crop top.

Such a perfect fit. I love your shoes, it matches the flame orange in your hair. Speaking of hair, did you grow it out in the 3 weeks I was gone? Beautiful!

Congrats on making such a lovely dress. I love how versatile it is, you can spice it up with a biker jacket, or wear it with a cool brooch to make it into a Mad Men-Joan outfit.

Happy Easter! Wow, look at you go! I love this dress and the darting, pleating in front and back. The heels are a nice touch too.

I think this is one of my favorite dresses that you've made Emmy! Love the silhouette and the slight retro feel. This is totally the type of dress you can dress up or down easily :)

 If you've been reading my blog for the past few months, then you know my love for Alabama Chanin. Here's the newest addition to my wardrobe. :) Alabama Chanin Flora Waffle Sweatshirt, worn with North Face jacket, UNIQLO pants, and Vans sneakers The organic waffle knit fabric is naturally dyed using Sappanwood sawdust, and the foliage design is hand-painted! What I love about Alabama Chanin is that many of their pieces are one-of-a-kind. PS It was my eldest's birthday when these pics were taken:) How was your weekend? Any new purchases lately?

 As much as I love looking at avant-garde fashion and looking at pages of Vogue, the reality is that most of the time, this is what I wear when out and about.... old hoodie from Urban Outfitters, Calvin Klein pants, Vans slip ons As an introvert who doesn't really get out much, I honestly wish I can wear evening gowns and 4-inch heel shoes some days, but alas, such is my life....:P I'm officially the shortest one in the family....waaaaaaaah! (I've been in denial all this time...I know....I know....) What do you usually wear in your daily life? When out and about? BTW, my right eye has been like this since I sneezed really hard the other day. I kinda wish this happened on Halloween....bwahahaha! I'm a vampire....mwahahaha!
