Dress For Jazz Concert

August 27, 2013 By Chie

Hi, This is Rina. One of my longtime friends, Marisa, had a jazz concert on the last weekend at a comfy restaurant, Elegance.

 I made her sky blue dress. She has been a classic pianist for more than 20 years, and she has recently made a switch to jazz.

The dress I made is pretty simple, a flair skirt dress. But, I had to tailor this dress specifically because her dress cannot impede her movement while playing. Since I didn’t choose stretch fabric, I had to adjust the pattern so that it would fit her body movements. I’m really happy to see her playing piano in this dress in front of many people. She is going to have another concert in November. I’ll try to make another dress for her. I’ve already started working out in my mind what will be a good fit for her!

先週末にエレガンスで友達のジャズライブがあり、そこでのドレスを作りました。とてもシンプルなフレアスカートのドレスですが、ピアノを弾く動作を妨げないよう、袖の形等に気をつかいました。

彼女は長年クラシックをやってきたのですが、最近ジャズも弾き始め、精力的に活動しています 🙂 11月にまたライブを行うようなので、また彼女の為にドレスを作りたいと思います。次はどんなドレスがいいかなあ。rina signature

Made:: Drape Drape 3 Inspired Grecian Dress

August 16, 2013 By Chie

gracian dress1{Self-made Grecian dress, thrifted sandals, Alexander Wang clutch, H&M earrings, Gorjana necklace and bracelet, Oia Jules bracelet}

A few weeks ago, my sister got married. The wedding was wonderful. To be honest, I don’t always enjoy going to weddings, especially because it is expensive to attend (you have to bring at least 300 USD as a gift, plus additional after-party cost and transportation), but my sister’s wedding was truly special. She met her husband, got engaged and married within 9 months. I am so happy for them! As always, I was working on the dress to wear to the wedding up til the the night before. I have to stop being so last minute, but I couldn’t help it. Usually I go for more structured dresses like skater dress with fitted top or this Chasing the Waterfall dress, but this time I wanted something different. I bought this lavender jersey at blogger meet-up in Nippori, and was anxious to use it for something drapy and loose. The side drape on skirt was done using the pattern no.10 from Drape Drape 3 book from Hisako Sato. I bought this book about a year and a half ago, and had been wanting to make something from it. The biggest reason why it took me so long to actually make something from the book was because of the patterns. Since many of the patterns in the book are not supposed to cut on fold, each pattern is gigantic (check out this Instagram photo!). Also the pleating on the pattern was terribly confusing; it took me good three hours to figure out how to put it together.

I got tired by the time I finished the side drape, so I decided to do the rest on the flow. I just cut out fabric pieces and tucked here and draped there, and finished the waist with elastic for comfort. grecian dress close up Since I have no breasts to support the V neckline, I had to use double sided tapes to keep the shoulder and neckline. I really liked the back V line and the loose fitting silhouette goes well with my delicate gold jewelry. Sadly, Andy was not a big fan of this dress, as he said it looks like I’m wearing a garbage bag. 009DSC_0166 copy DSC_0168 copyMy sister made a beautiful bride…yumi weddingfamily photo2ChieSignature
