To Keep Everyone Up To Date
I finished one corset so far with the first pattern I bought. Now, these aren’t exactly traditional, and I’m thinking I’m going to like using the second set of patterns I bought for a better fitted corset. The second pattern has longer ones, and they’ll just work out better in general. Currently, one of my biggest projects is my prom dress. I want to have it absolutely finished by May 10th, because Tyler’s prom is May 14th. I bought the fabric and two patterns that gave me some inspiration this past weekend, and this dress is going to rock everyone’s world as far as I’m concerned. The top is going to be somewhat simple, with a little bit of an opening that has fabric underneath it up top, and it’s going to be strapless as far as I’m looking right now. The bottom is going to be sort of a bubble skirt, with the tacked up bunching throughout that gives a very elegant feel. It’s going to be a deep bright purple with baby blue accents. I might change my mind on the accent colors, because I think a bright yellow might not contrast too much, but it’ll give a great pop to the prom dress in general if I pick it. The high waistline is going to be accented with a band of the accent color, possibly with a large bow on the back. I’m still working out if I want a band and a bow, or if I want the front to be more simple up top, with a corseted back. I’m not sure, I’ll work out the kinks shortly, since I still have to buy the thread for the project to even begin.
But, I’m definitely going to keep updating, I’ll have pictures posted up of that corset eventually, since I love the silk fabric I did use to make it, and everything is going to work out. I’m just hoping that once this dress is done, it looks amazing for my first year at prom, and then I hope it’s good enough to get me some scholarship. I really want that scholarship, haha.
Also, I’ll probably get some inspiration for shoe ideas this Thursday. I’m going to the Sweetheart dance with Tyler this Saturday, and I’m going to go look at shoes on Wednesday or Thursday to get a quick pair. Then, I can get ideas for altering pairs myself to make some great shoes to go with the prom dress. I’ve been wanting to try taking a pair of plain shoes and making them fabulous. So now I’ll be getting my chance, haha.
In the meantime, I’m going to work with Steve since I’m over here as an assistant today, and then when I get home I want to turn a pair of pants I have into some cute leggings. Let’s hope they turn out good, since I want to wear them to Tyler’s tomorrow with a new mini I bought. Lol.
Sincerely,
Lindsey
