Anniversary Outfits !

I guess the outfits i did manage to sew for my wedding anniversary do deserve a separate post, hence here it is

Kurta for my hubby : We forgot to take a solo snap of him  in this kurta !



Plain simple kurta in 50% cotton, 50% polyester ;
Chinese collar
French seams

Happy that it did fit him well. I would personally prefer the shoulder to be 1/2 inch less but he like it when they droop a bit, since he is the one is going to wear it, i made it suit his comfort zone.


Summer Dress for Darling Daughter.

Can we wear something new when our darling isn't ? so here it was a new dress for Adithi

Highlight of this dress is the braided straps (Remember the pink knit ruffle skirt - BTW it is still on sale - any takers?) using pink knit and dress fabric bias straps about 1/4 inch wide.

She sported 2 looks, one with a t-shirt worn underneath as Athibeedu was quite cool ! The other is the version she will wearing in sweltering Chennai !


Leopard Print + Flower Motifs Dress for self

I love animal prints and had been wanting to make an outfit in this one, but wasn't quite sure as to how to break the print up to make me look not so lean ! (Remember the same pink knit ruffle skirt on which i had ruffles using a shimmery fabric, i used the remaining shimmer fabric here), Shimmery fabric - bias strips strategically placed across the bodice till waist line by embracing my curves !





I like pleats and added one at the hemline; shortened the original hemline and added pleated portion to get the normal height.

Wanted to pair it with lace leggings, since it was too cold in Athibeedu, decided to pair with slim fit denim.

Adjustable Summer Dress NO.2 in Yellow

I have decided to call this Adjustable Summer Dress as it is very accomodative and is quite adaptable as a child grows! Remember Back to School Dress (Dress No.1 of this style) , after having made that, i fell in love with the pattern i drafted, wanted to make it again and some cheery yellow flower fabric was just the right one to do so.

Features are the same as that of Back to School Dress, except that i have added a horizontal slit at CF to let the straps pass through instead of the vertical slit i had made in Dress no.1. Horizontal slit is even more invisible and camouflages well once the straps are inserted!

When i told her she got reviews on my blog for Back to School Dress on being a great model, she surprised me with this pose!!!
