Custom Wedding Dress & Kimono Upcycled Clothes | オーダーメイドウェディングドレス&着物ドレス
I’m excited to share a few behind the scene photos of the shoot I had this week! We shot a few Spring items including some casual wedding dresses. I enjoyed styling this shoot – white dresses accented with flowers. I made flower crowns and used more flowers in the background and pastel color balloons.
先日行った撮影の現場風景の写真をいくつか。
テーマは春だったので、白を基調に、お花とパステルカラーでアクセント。
白の背景に、造花をマスキングテープで留めるアイディアはinstagramの写真からまねっこしました。
パステルカラーの風船を使ったり、楽しい撮影になりました。
花冠は今後ブライダルのラインアップに加えたいと思っています。

Here is an addition to my Spring wardrobe, just in time for MMM15 (My MMM12 here)! I used the Grainline Archer button up shirt pattern AGAIN. This is my fifth try of this pattern(1, 2, 3 and 4th one is not blogged). I am convinced that I totally got my money’s worth for this pattern. I worn these four shirts so many times over the winter. Most of the time, I have been wearing it underneath a sweater just to add an extra warmth to survive the winter. Tokyo winter is not as harsh as say, NY, but because the houses here are not very well insulated, I had to wear warm clothes even in indoors.
Anyway, as always, I made this in size 4. The only modification I made was the length. I’ve already lengthened the shirt by 2 inches for my shirt version, and for this dress version, I further lengthened it by additional 10 inches. I skipped the sleeve tabs this time because the fabric was not as slippery as the silk I used before and it would hold the shape when I roll up the sleeves.
The fabric is light weight cotton lawn. It’s very soft and feels almost like gauze. I bought this about six months ago in Nippori Tomato for 100 yen per meter. I was going to make Andy a button up shirt with it. I even made a muslin, but when he fitted the muslin, I was disappointed. It did not fit him at all. I used the extra large pattern from a Japanese pattern book, called “Men’s shirt book”(男のシャツの本) by Ryuichiro Shimazaki. I think the patterns are designed for skinny Japanese dudes, not my weirdly shaped, boxer husband. The shoulder and sleeve parts were so off, I was at a loss how to fix it. I let it sit while I was thinking of how to correct the pattern and somewhere along the way I lost the motivation to continue. So I just decided to take this fabric for my own clothes. Sorry Andy, no shirt for you.
I love the color of this shirt. It’s close to navy blue, but a bit eclectic version of navy blue, if that makes any sense. I didn’t have any navy in my wardrobe, so it is a good addition. I can wear this with skinny belt, moto jacket, trench, or wear it as a jacket with t-shirt and jeans underneath.
Here is Kiko, trying on my new pumps…
春に向けて、シャツドレスを１枚作りました。
生地は日暮里トマトの１００円コーナーで買った、コットンローン。
１００円なので、本当にコットンローンかは謎ですが、そんな感じの手触りと織です。
地直しのために洗ってから縫いましたがかなり色落ちしました。
本当は旦那さんにシャツを作る予定だったのですが、サイズが合わな過ぎてギブ。
「男のシャツの本」から型紙を使って仮縫いしましたが、肩と腕が合わなくて、胸回りもXLなのにぱつぱつで、
どう直していいか分からずあきらめました笑
変わりに、Grainline StudioのArcher Button Upの型紙を使って自分用にシャツを。
長さは２５センチ近く伸ばして、シャツドレスバージョンにしてみました。

The Spring weather has been moody here in Tokyo. One day it’s 25 degrees and beautiful but other days it’s raining and freezing. I finished this cable knit hat just in time to get a few wears before the Spring weather fully hits. I started on this hat in mid March and worked on and off for a while, while I watched some shows. I just finished the Pillar of the Earth, British historical show that takes place in 12th century England. The show completes in eight episodes, which is great for avoiding addiction and emotional attachment.
I’m wearing self-made Ginger jeans in white stretch twill, Butterick 4610 coat and thrifted button up and sweater.
もう春ですが、また１つニット帽作っちゃいました。
テレビを見ながら、手持無沙汰になるのがいやなので、編み物好きです。
これは100均で買ったベビー用毛糸を使って、作りました。
編み方は、The Purl BeeのTraveling Cable Knit。
無料の型紙です。
日本の編み物のパターンのように、図解はないのですが、私的にはこういう文字だけの方が解りやすいです。
ちなみに、着ているコートとパンツも自分で作りました。
