Hello wonderful online people :)
My boyfriend is getting sick of me asking his opinion on womens clothes so I thought I'd reach out to you lovely ladies.
I am starting a new DIY project- making my own dress from stratch. I've been researching online and I think I just might be able for this (hmm.. well.. maybe. haha). Anyway I have some questions.
Which of my two drawings do you guys think I should attempt to give life to?
Have you ever taken on such a task?- how did it go?
Have you any tips? (I'm a total beginner)
What colours do you think will look good with whichever one you prefer? (example: Number 1, white dress, black lace)
THANKS!

Why about like the first one just put the long lace with it like it has on the chest area I think that would be cute

@Elaine so combine the top half of one with the bottom half of two?? That could be cute, I'll stetch it up, thank you! :)

I really like the second and the third one:) have you thought of maybe a High-low dress?

Caitriona H.

Pardon my ignorance but what's a high low dress? :S.

Mar 17, 2014

Courteney J.

Its where the front of the dress is longer than the back. Here's some examples:)

Number 3 would be cute :) You should definitely go for the High-Low idea dress though.

Caitriona H.

@Magaly with or without the lace at the top?

Mar 17, 2014

Caitriona H.

The stetch is crap but it gives you the idea. If I do this one though It won't be see through but will still have an underskirt
