If you can’t answer that question, what’s the weirdest material you’ve ever known someone’s lolita outfit to be made of?
I've not yet been overly adventurous in my sewing attempts, though I have plans for a few... interesting dresses once I think I can manage them. I'm still determined to make a martian manhunter inspired coordinate someday when I can figure out how it could work. I've made a skirt out of another skirt and a corset out of boyscout spats, it that counts. And I'm still working on my last unicorn dress, which truly is a labor of love.
I do have a short wishlist of fabrics, however. The first is a hot air balloon fabric, though I've not found the right one just yet. It would make a really nice JSK, I think. I would call in my Around the World dress. A few others:
I want a skirt made from this to show off my inner geek princess.
Why not have a dress to express your feelings on Monday?
Book-lover loli!
Sushi loli?
You can find all the fabrics I posted here.
Hi, I just discovered your site and love it! Those fabrics are great.
ReplyDeleteIn answer to your question, my very favorite jsk was made from drapes bought at Goodwill. They have a blue and white toile, wedgewood china-esque print and this great, huge ruffle at the hem. All I had to do was sew the panels together, remove the weights from the hem, and cut a bodice. I used shirred shoulders with a narrow lace edge and a shirred waist, so it was very easy.
Your jsk sounds amazing! I'm a bit jealous, shirring is one of the things I've not been able to manage.
