Aren’t these underwear lovely? They almost look like bathing suit! They are from une nana cool. I have been using their underwear collections only (although, I cheated once when I found a non-wired black lace bra from H&M this summer) since I found out their shop three years ago. Half of their collection is non-wired, but has an elastic band under bust, and extremely comfortable for someone like me, who have flat chests. If you are like me, you know how uncomfortable it is to have a hard wire pressing your bone under neath your boobs… It doesn’t happen with these guys, and I am so happy to have found out their store!

Vintage-inspired mini flower dress
So immediately after I came back from fabric shopping, I washed the fabric and cut the fabric to make a dress. Here is the result.
This is the same design as my Kirsten Dunst inspired dress, but for some reasons, it came out bigger than the last dress I made. I made two modifications to the dress.
1) No bow this time, because of the pattern, I thought it would be too much to add a bow..
2) Instead of gathering the skirt part, I added some pleats. Well, it did not gather, since the fabric is relatively thick. So I made a quick modification!

I belted it and threw a blazer on.
Also, I wore knee-high socks instead of tights today. I am still not sure if I like them or not, I am afraid that I kind of look like an amine character?! You know, sailor moon is always wearing knee-high socks… At least they are comfortable relatively. I detest over-the-knee boots, and so sad they are in this winter, but I am okay with knee-high socks!
It has been raining for days now, and they say typhoons are coming on Thursday. I want to see the Sun! I feel down when the weather is bad. Although, the weather here is much milder than the one in Philly, so I shouldn’t complain much.
By the way, I made Thai red curry yesterday with the instant soup mix my sister got from Thailand. Since both my husband and I like spicy food, I added three extra dried hot peppers for extra spiciness. and, I must have forgotten to wash my hands and touched my eyes, my eyes burnt so badly. It was like someone sprayed pepper spray on me. I thought I would go blind. That was very scary!
Fabric shopping weekend
My sister just got back from a week trip to Thailand, and got me this harem pants. These are unbelievably comfortable. It is not in the pictures, but I must wear heels when I wear these pants, otherwise I look like a peasant from a village.
Went to a fabric shopping in Nippori this Saturday. When you go to the fabric row on Saturday, it is a WAR! Especially at Tomato. People pushing each other and stepping on each other, I get so exhausted after an hour of shopping. A lot of people go there with a suit case, and it makes sense. I had two big bags of fabrics, and I might need a suit case my self for the next trip.
Here is what I got this time. I wanted to buy more, but I just could not stand waiting in the line for so long, and the crowd!
From left: Flower fabric (I’ve been looking for a flower print with a vintage feel!), violet cotton, black jersey (always good to have it stocked), silver-ish knit fabric, and violet wool tweed (300 yen a meter, wow! )
