A gift from someone special...

   Hey there!..Hope you are well.. As cold as usual, no sign of spring yet!Ohwell!
  Anyway, the dress I have on in the picture(left) is a gift to me from someone special for Christmas.Its a size 8L dress from River Island. Its a Jersey/Knit/stretchy fabric and I love the print on it.
   However, I realised that it doesn't suit my frame well. So here are the cons;
1) Slim Girls and V-necks are not friends!
2)I am not a great fan of 'Midis or Capri pants/trousers', because I 'think' my legs look weird in them. :P
3)A-line cut is not famous on Jersey fabrics, especially on slim girls....makes you look 'lost'!
       Whew! The good news is that I love the Fabric+Print+Design(part), therefore I shall 'tweak' here and there to find my perfect fit! Wish me luck and I shall post the 'after' pictures.
PS: Don't forget to let me know what you think,suggestions are welcome...
PPS: Original colour is pink(right) :D..Heheheeh

Thanks for viewing.

Ankara Dress+ Dodgy head tie..

   

I like this necklace better..

                                                                                                                                                            Hello!
Hope you are well...Here's a little story surrounding the completion of my new outfit. Hope you like it.!!
  So sometimes early last year, my friend and I purchased some yards of Ankara fabric-12 yards to be precise( 6 yards each). It was meant to be a traditional wedding costume but you know, stuff came up..we forgot about it.
  Late last year, around December, I decided to make mine into a dress for the Christmas service. Lol- I laugh when I remember why it wasn't completed in time for church- The electricity meter tripped off!!
I didn't know whether to cry or  to laugh :/  Anyway, that put PAID to my plans for having a 'nice' Christmas outfit.
     Okay now I thought well, here comes new year I should be able to do that as I was going to be away. Long story short....I was full of so much excitement that I cut my sleeves so small, I couldn't get my arms out of the dress, there was an error in the way I drafted the pattern :( So I abandoned it yet again!!!    
NB: can you see a trend here??-uh uhn! Procrastination :( 

    Until now! (drum rolls)!!! have I managed to complete it, made few adjustments along the way though.
And here's the finished product!!!!!
