Fashionista Dreams

Take a look at the newest pattern I tested for Kristi from  George and Ginger ! It’s a take on a wrap dress, without being a wrap dress lol! It has this gorgeous braided detail around the neck.   The back is pretty plain looking, but isn’t it stunning in this fabric combination?  The top pictures are with a cami for modesty purposes, the pattern does not have a modesty panel option built in but here is what the dress looks like without the camisole.  You can find more on my social medias like my  Instagram ,  Facebook page ,  Pinterest  and my  Facebook group- FD CLOTHING AND SALES !  And for all my sewing friends, you can purchase the pattern  here

Back in July, I posted about going to German Comic Con and wearing my self made Eddie Munson Jacket, and going specifically for Joseph Quinn and to meet him. Unfortunately he had to cancel back in July, but the same people did a Strangers Con, which is a con specifically made for Stranger Things fans and Joseph was going to be there.  My dad got tickets and I didn’t know he had until they announced Joseph was going to be at Strangers Con, which incidentally was also near my birthday. So going and meeting Joseph was my birthday and Christmas gift, and it was so worth it. Now onto the pictures, cause I’m sure your tired of me rambling.  There was an opening ceremony where we welcomed them to the venue, that’s where these pictures came from. There was several other amazing actors there as well.    Got to meet some other really good Eddie Cosplayers at this Con too!    Getting ready to have him sign my Jacket and mini guitar he plays in the show!! So excited!! ...

This was the last pattern test I did before my braces came off! So a bit of a special spot I guess as well its so fancy feeling.  This is some sewing themed fabric I had mixed with a solid black, for an extra formal feel to me. I am totally gonna hang out in it sewing or whatever but I will will feel fabulous doing it! Reminds me of a post I have seen shared from a singer sewing machine manual from the 50's where you are supposed to clean the house, get dressed up and put on make up before sewing, because you can possibly focus otherwise... how the times have changed right?! I do like to dress up and do my makeup most days though simply because its fun, but my sewing space is not as organized as some would like it to be (mom). However its organized chaos, I mostly know where everything is at all times.  Anyway this top is the new MAZE from  George + Ginger . It comes with several options, I choose the 3/4 sleeve hi low with horse hair braid to give it that extra volume....

When I saw this pattern and I was a little torn on it, if I would really like it or not once it was sewn up. Elephant house just ran this amazing Masters round and I go this beautiful Starry Night fabric for strikes and I knew I needed to try this pattern out with it. It is a bamboo spandex fabric so its really flowy and drapes beautifully.  I really love how the dress turned out, I think the drape makes the fabric and painting really flow beautifully. Like it really is living art,  I take a living arts makeup class on out school with the amazing Jessica (Iris Imaginoria), a month or so  ago, we did the Starry Night painting which is why I was so excited about this fabric. My little sister lets me occasionally practice on her as well, this was one of the paintings she let me try out on her after class. I have had so much fun with these classes.  I love these classes they are so much fun, and I am learning a lot about different techniques and makeup brands, styles an...

I feel like this hoodie is the perfect showcase piece for the direction I want to take this blog, to show off things I make, makeup styles, and travels, the things that make me, well me. I love fashion, makeup, creating beautiful and unique things, I am an Army brat so travel is just life.   This hoodie I made for strikes promo a few weeks ago, it was a new style I hadn't made before. I really love how it turned out. The thumb holes and the black accents really just make it next level for me. I modified it a little cause I wanted a slouchy cowl look.   I had colored my hair 'black' with overtone, its kind of a purple black. I really loved it, was such a drastic change from the colors I have had before but it was a fun one. I was glad it was still dark for this hoodie, the hair and the make up I think worked really well with the colors.  I am still experimenting with different looks and styles of make up but one thing I know for sure, liquid eyeliner is life!   

Hello again everyone! Today I am going to be showing you the Boudoir Blouse, and the Paradox skirt from the Goth Collection over at  George + Ginger . These are woven patterns so measurements are critical when making them for your self of if you want to order them from me 🙂 These are very well fitted and tailored garments and they are so worth the extra time and expense.  I made this blouse with Crush Bichon Charmeuse, it has a great texture look to it. It was a super fun fabric to work with. The sleeves are a chiffon with a glitter design on it. I thought it would look great with the Brocade I picked out for my skirt.  I used snaps on mine but you could do some really cool vintage looking buttons, or gears for a more steampunk flare to it. The amazing this about this collection is how your fabric and accessory choices can really change the look so easily. I love that!  I was for sure feeling a little more steampunk when deciding my fabrics, colors, accessories and ...

What a peculiar year this has been! I had so many plans that have had to be adapted and changed a bit. Unfortunately when deciding on what needed to have a pin put in it the blog was on that list. However I have found my groove and have many exciting things to share with you both personally, business wise, and a new pattern collection!  Kristi from  George & Ginger  designed the most epic Goth collection that has just released! Over the next few days I will show you all the pieces, even some with my mom.  Above you will see the Bedight Bolero, this can be made reversible, this one is not, it is satin. There is also a non ruffle version that has long sleeves and a closure at the neck, I still need to make one of those.  This is the Evanescent dress, the petticoat I am wearing under is not part of the pattern I just liked the poof it added. I feel like both of these pieces can easily be staples its all in fabric choice, I went a bit more Goth with these, I hav...

One of the first shoots we did for this round was with this dress at a local park. It was the first time I had all the make up on, and my mom said she didn't recognize me! The park was surprisingly busy, of course lol so many looks Our local park still has a working payphone, I have to admit I didn't exactly know how it worked, while I love the 90's era of music and movies, I did not grow up with the phones and electronics.  This is the Malibu from George + Ginger , part of the new collection there. It is a pretty comfortable dress, this is the mini length there is a slightly longer one too and a few people made it into a tank, that is on my list. The cut of this dress, while fairly basic is really fun and easy to dress up or down a bit. I paired it with the updated rave in white for these.  Of course I made these two out of crushed velvet and plaid because I was going for the 90's vibe. This entire collection has become stables in my wardrobe....
