The Purple Prince Dress

April 22, 2016April 27, 2016 FaithStJulesLeave a comment

THE ICON Hi everyone, I hope that everyone is well. I believe that everyone has heard by now about the passing of the late great Prince.

Some fabrics are just too beautiful to just use once. 1st Look: @mccallpatterncompany #m7728 2nd Look: #v1566 Fabric: striped Mikado twill with a floral background from @promenadefabrics #sewing #fashion #style #dress #jumpsuit #stripes #florals

I consider @tabithasewer an inspiration because she follows her own path and knows how to take something that no one would think of using, and make it beautiful. She always told me that there is so much in me that I need to show, and not let fear hinder me. When she saw that I was I was going to use New Look 6494 to make a dress and approached me to do a collaboration, I knew that I wanted to show you guys what I can really do. I added beading to the upper bodice of the dress to give it an edge. I also added this fun nude fabric to this silk gazar fabric that was gifted to me by Tabitha a while back. I wanted to use these two contrasting fabrics together because I felt they played off of each other well. This is my #workinprogress, and I am looking forward to you guys seeing our full look when it is complete. Stay tuned. . . . . #sewing #collab #fashion #photo #madebyme #madebyhand #design #dress #mystyle #myway #colorlove#sewing #creativelife #livecolorfully #ilovecolor #ilove #turquoise #doitfortheprocess #creativedesign #handmade #imadeit #sewcialists #sewersofinstagram #imadeit #imakemyownclothes

growing up, we did not have much, but we lived like we had everything. We always had a home cooked meal, and we never realized how broke we were, because my parents sacrificed their wants and needs to give us ours. We didn't have the brand name outfits, but the way my mom dressed us in our second hand clothing, and Kmart outfits, we always looked our best. Because of my parents, I learned what it truly means to be rich. It is living your best life, even when your pockets are empty. It is wearing your #handmade clothing with the same or more confidence than someone wearing Chanel or Marc Jacobs. Style is not how much something cost, it's how you wear it and how it makes you feel. This dress was made by me, and if asked, I will say it loud and proudly. . .

I bought this cute top and tulle skirt for my daughter at Crazy 8. She walked into the living room and says, "mommy I can create three ways to wear this outfit. Of course I had to take a photo of each look. She is so #creative. 1st Look: original way, skirt and top 2nd Look: As a top with leggings 3rd Look: She pulled the skirt up to make it look like a dress. #littlefashionista #myfirstbaby #kidsfashion #cutie #crazy8 #photo

Using this beautiful cotton fabric from @waxprintslacesnmore to play with draping on my dress form. I'm thinking of designing a maxi dress with this fabric. #draping #dress #design #pretty #fabric #creativelife #lovewhatido #designer #sewersofinstagram #summer #yellow #fashion #photo
