peter pan!

By

Personally, This black peter pan collar doll dress is my best creation this winter! I love how it turned out. Although, my sister called me “nun”… It’s okay! I like it.
I drafted the pattern based on the room wear-ish dress I made a couple of days ago. I made the collar bigger and rounder, added two black buttons. For the skirt part, I added two pockets (I love pockets!), pleated the front panel, then finished with belt loops on the side and a sash.

I definitely got inspired by liebemarlene‘s photo stream on flickr. She always has the cutest vintage dresses, with round collar. Check out her flickr page – She is so lovely.

Wearing: VivatVeritas dress, heart tights, gem pumps I got in Japan.

This tights might look like polka dot, but they are actually hearts. I got these three years ago, to pair with LBD for my own wedding party that my best friends threw. I love the tights, but they scratch my skin so bad, I had to take them off shortly after this photo shoot:(

No more rain

Wearing: cardigan bought at flee market (for $1), white tank, Calvin Kline hight waist skirt, payless booties and scarf from Malaysia.

I recently purchase a new serger. The machine is 4 thread and 2 needles, and works great! I purchased it online, at an auction site (not everything is auctioned, they have buy it now option), called Rakuten, which is like an equivalent of Ebay in the US. The name of the shop in Rakuten was “Mishin Okoku“, which literally means, sewing machine nation. If you reside in Japan, I totally recommend this seller. The delivery was so quick, it came next morning. This is what I love about Japan as opposed to Philly… don’t get me wrong, there were a lot of things that I like about living in the States, and I was so sad when I had to move back here. But over here, things work according to rules and orders. I can’t even count how many times my mail got missed in Philly, or perhaps stolen. Anyway, it works great!

A very generous friend of mine gave me this Calvin Kline skirt, and I love it! I would have worn it everyday if I still went to work… The skirt actually is consisted of three different panels in front and back. The scarf is also given to me from a pastor friend back in Philly. It was a gift he got from Malaysia and I always get a compliment whenever I wear this;)
aw I hope it will be sunny tomorrow! It was pouring rain all day today.

I came across with the girl who tamed the tiger’s photostream on flickr recently, and it was like stepping into a little dream world. Her photography is so unique, dreamy and girly… Just thought I should share!
