Graduation Gown Turned Dress

Hey y’all! As some of you may know or remember I graduated back in May and I got to keep my gown along with my cap, since I’m homeschooled.

Now the next person in my family to graduate still has a couple years to go, and he will probably need a size or two up to accommodate for height so I turned my gown into a dress!

I got to work a week or so after I graduated and started sketching what I wanted to turn my gown into. Should I do separates? Should I do a dress? What style of dress?

Ultimately I decided upon this amazing dress, now I did have to adjust the skirt because my initial sketch had a long maxi style dress but I simply adore the shorter skirt.

And that back is stunning! The whole dress with the exception of the ribbon for the straps, came from the gown.

Had to take a couple pictures with my cap, so happy I had all my friends sign it!

Now this next picture has a bit of a story behind it:

So the day I took pics of my dress, I took my black belt pictures as well. While we were looking at poses I had this idea to see if I could do a side kick (a personal favorite) in my dress and heels- turns out I can!

Alright y’all, that’s all for today- don’t forget to follow me on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest. Also don’t forget you can shop all my ready to wear designs in my group, Fashionista Dreams- Ready to Wear!

See y’all later,

Pride Keychains (Coming Soon)

Let’s talk Pride Keychains! As someone who is apart of the community, these keychains bring me an immense amount of joy. I am going to be showing several pictures of the keychain set I made for myself as samples. These are a few variations of the three keychain designs, I made for myself and as samples. Now I am going to show you a picture of each design. My plan is to make a couple of each design for the website with white vinyl and black vinyl. The flower is pretty cute, and I love the LGBTQIA+ design! Now, the “LOVE” design below is the Pansexual flag, because I am Pan and I made these as samples. With that being said, I will have a couple different options up on the website (I’ll get into those in a second). And if you would like a Pride Love design but I haven’t made it yet for the website, then you are free to message me with the special request. The options I will have available on the website will be a one color design, Agender, Asexual, Bisexual, ...
