Its a wrap (dress) for my Killer Heels!

Remember i wanted to make a dress befitting to be worn with my Killer Heels!

At last i made one yesterday ...

Front View (ignore the messy hair style, photographer was in a hurry to rush to his ofc! and also the rude looks, i just couldn't look at the bright shining morning sun! i should have had my shades on! )

Now a smiley front view, (did you notice i am under the shade now!)

The fabric must make you feel deja vu ! yes it is similar to the fabric i had used to make a wrap dress for my sister-in-law more than a year ago! and ended up buying one for myself in a different shade and the fabric was long forgotten, before it found its salvation yesterday!

Back View (The bow at the back was last minute addition, bows are always in vogue, aren't they?!)

And now for the inspiration for this outfit, my first ever killer heels! I somehow managed to stutter up the stairs for the photo shoot at the terrace! he he ! still learning the ropes of running around in heels!

I used Angarkha basic draft and tweaked it a little to make it work as a wrap dress and viola there i have my first ever wrap dress, it kind of took few years off me! what's say?~!

I would like to add hidden ties from the inside of the wrap to the side seam at waist to hold the inner part of the wrap in place while i move about!

P.S.: I am posting this with my broadband! yup its back, the BSNL guys visited my place as i was typing this post! such a relief to have net back!

Navarathri Day 8 - Action Shots

Today was the day for the reverse side of the wrap dress the navy bluish pink tinge side.

We went to Bhuvaneshwari Amman temple today and had a nice darshan...

My daughter's schoolmates turned up for the golu with their moms. She had fun....

But camera didn't have charge, hence couldn't take any snaps then, but later compensated for it late at night once everyone except for her close friend left. So took some snaps of them together...here they are....

Trying hard to wink! She needs her hands to help her wink! : )

Still trying...in vain

Having Fun together!

In Action!

Twirl Around!

Striking a Pose!

Even Better Pose !!!!

Awesome Pose!!!!

My BP Shot up when i shot this!

Wrap skirt with cascade!

I saw this post on Territory ahead skirt and was inspired to make one for my daughter.

Instead of A-line skirt, i decided to make it as wrap around using leftover fabric (remember the Angrakhas for my Sister and SIL)

Though not quite pleased with the cascade drape, not as exact as in Territory Ahead Skirt, but drapes fine. Most pleasing part of this outfit was it took under an hour to finish from draft to completion (the waistband cum ties took most of it as it had put joints to scrap fabric to get the exact length.

Wrap Dress - Lovely Green with Rose Print

This wrap dress was envisioned a month back for my  younger SIL. (hubby's second cousin)

I really admire her patience as she didn't sigh (Atleast not in front of me !!!) for having delayed it so much.

Please ignore the push pins, i had to use them to mark the exact location for snap buttons to ensure modesty after she gets to wear it. The back has ruffles at bottom wish i had more fabric, would loved to have made it into ruffley dress at front too.

Too tired to type anything more, its 12:35 AM here, so this is the project for the day, please do remember to tune in tomorrow for the video tutorial on Angrakha stitching, hope those who are planning to do were able to draft your patterns using the Part I tutorial and are ready and raring to go....
