OOTD today.
Had an afternoon tea birthday party to go to. I don’t really have anything fancy, so I made myself a dress. It’s a mashup of Butterick 4443 and my own sloper for the bodice. I bought the pattern after seeing Tegan’s version.
Not happy with the neckline - I had a few issues and basically winged it, but I think I know how to make it better. It is far from perfect, but I’m really pleased with it as a project. It came together surprisingly easy, and I didn’t freak out at the mistakes. I think I might have leveled up in sewing :P I will definitely make this pattern again, now I have some of the kinks ironed out.
Fabric is just plain cotton from Spotlight. Fat necklace is from Natalie. Hot from the Gilles St markets. I’m wearing a super dodgy petticoat that I made for a costume a couple of years ago. I think I need to buy a nice one.
Went to the party with my sweetie, who also kindly took the photos. But I took this one.
Halloween costume for a party Saturday night.
I was Coraline, since I have the blue hair already. I bought the blue top and painted the stars on, and bought the doll base, but otherwise I made or already owned everything. It didn’t turn out 100% like I wanted, but I was pretty pleased.
Only two other people at the party knew who I was, but I enjoyed the night and my costume anyway.
OOTD for yesterday.
We had a ‘neon’ themed party to go to. I don’t really have much super bright stuff, turns out. I don’t wear this skirt much because it is a bit bright for my comfort zone, and also a bit short since my arse got bigger.
I ended up feeling pretty self conscious. You can see my bra through that top, and also, NIPPLES. But guys, that’s just how my nipples are, and it was really hot and damned if I’m wearing uncomfortable things just because I have pointy nipples. So I wore it anyway, which I am calling a win. I didn;t think I’d enjoy the party much but I ended up talking about the Cold War and webcomics and YA fiction with someone who has previously just been an acquaintance, which was awesome and I had a ball.
Singlet: Kmart, size 18.
Skirt: Cotton on, size 16

Ugh and I’m definitely cutting my hair off.

This was inspired by this girl.
I don’t agree with everything she says, but I think she has got it going on.
