Which would make me incredibly happy, for two reasons. First, I would still be working towards a fashion career, which is enlightening. Second, I would have these Louboutins, which is incredible. Everywhere is bitchy... Apparently those to Bitch to you will Bitch about you. Which is interesting- I almost believe that.
Anyway. It has beeeeen a whiiiiiile since I have blogged/posted anything- apologies. Not that it matters really... not many followers here. I decided to make a dress to my best friend's Made in Chelsea themed party like a month ago. I was pretty happy with it. By far the best thing I've made in terms of sewing detail and accuracy. So here is a picture.
In terms of designing it... I sort of didn't.. I had an idea of what I wanted it to look like but it was pretty much touch and go. As I made it, I'd change quite significant parts of the dress on the spot without really thinking about it, and I certainly hadn't drawn anything beforehand. I don't really use plans- I get too excited I guess and just wack out the sewing kit. Took me so long though- about 2 weeks. I'd start at around 11pm each night and work until about 2 in the morning. I have the desire to sew reaaaaally late in the night, no idea why.
I knew I wanted something quite classic, because I knew many girls going would just buy something from a shop and wear it with heels that did not match- just for the sake of wearing heels. something low cut and very short and hiiiiiiiiigh heels. I didn't pay tooo much focus on the MIC theme, though I'll admit that I am a fan of MIC. I just decided to go 'posh'. Therefore I didn't make the hemline as short as I usually would (red dress at the beginning of this blog is the opposite to what I wanted). I wanted it to be pretty so I created a sweetheart neckline.

I attempted to make the dress as well fitted as I could, given that I had no mannequin and no sewing machine, so accuracy was difficult. The finished result was a bit too loose. But I don't think anyone could tell- which I guess... is a good thing. http://www.victoriabeckham.com/dresses/aw12/ if you look at this collection by V-Beck, you will see that my dress is quite similar, as it has one stripe around the middle. Though of course her dresses are much longer.

Call me boring or even ignorant, but I though that a black base colour would look the poshest. I did debate white but I know that black makes you look slimmer..
I wore this dress with black high heels, bit of a platform. No straps, just simple. I wanted to straighten my hair but I didn't have time! So I just rolled with it and had a good time!!
