Pink Floral // My Take on TWO + PIECE SET+ACULAR

July 28, 2014 By Chie

two piece set acular 630Have you seen Sophie of Ada Spragg‘s post on TWO + PIECE SET+ ACULAR? It’s awesome. I knew two piece set or co-ords was a trend, but her post really motivated me to make myself one! A set is great because of it’s versatility. You can wear them as is to make them look kind of like a dress, or wear only bottom or top. I’m really enjoying my new pink floral set.

as set2two set acular skirt vivat veritasInstead of sewing the whole thing, I used an already-owned dress from forever 21 and refashioned them into two piece set.
You can see this post for how I made the dress into a cropped top.
For the skirt, I added a new invisible zipper in the center back, and added the organza insert at hem to lengthen the skirt. The dress was super short which kept me from wearing it in the original form. Now the skirt is right above the knee, it is much more appropriate for my age (30!) and wearable.

I made a quick video(about 1 min) showing how I wear them.
The video is showing three ways to wear them:
1. Wear as set
2. Wear with white T-shirt (T is from T by Alexander Wang)
3. Wear with a high waisted shorts (Shorts are from thrift shop. They were long trousers but I cut them short).

Hope you’ll like the video!

I made another set out of a dress, and that is a non-cropped top version! It’s made with black lace and it is another one of the sets that is going to play a major roll in my Summer wardrobe. Will be posting about them soon!

ツーピースのセット、去年ぐらいから流行ってますよね。
私は最初はセットなんて、おばあちゃんみたいって思ってたんですが、やっぱり流行るとなんか試してみたくなっちゃうたちで。。。
オーストラリアのソーイングブロガー、Ada Spraggのこのブログを見て、やっぱ作ろうと思いました!

一から作らず、前から持っていて着る機会のなかったforever21のドレスを、リメークしてセットを作りました。
上のビデオでは、ツーピースの着回しについて撮影してみました。

tiffany blue bridesmaid dress by vivat veritas1 copy

Hello! Just wanted to share some of the sewing projects I have been working on recently. The above is the Midriff cutout dress in Tiffany blue as a bridesmaid dress. It’s available in more than 40 different colors! (Check out the last photo of the listing). The Kimono wrap shown below is one of my best sellers since 2012. It’s perfect as a beach cover-up; also available in six different colors. sheer kimono wrap by viavt veritas1 tiffany blue dress and kimono wrap by vivat veritas white lace dress in process by vivat veritas1

This one is a custom wedding party dress. In Japan, sometimes a couple throws a separate party after the wedding ceremony, just with friends. This will be a little bohemian inspired dress. white lace dress in process by vivat veritas2 white lace dress in process by vivat veritas3Lastly, here is a short video of the behind the scenes of the photoshoot I posted on facebook page recently. I worked with Elissa, who modeled here, here and here. We shot at the cutest studio in Shibuya. They location is full of beautiful and delicate antiques like a chandelier, alarm clock, phone, match boxes and tea cups. You can buy the items displayed in the studio too! The background music I put in the video is “Young and Beautiful” by Lana Del Ray.

Spring + Bridal Photoshoot Behind the Scenes

February 4, 2014 By Chie

bts3Some behind the scene pictures of the last week’s photoshoot. We shot two Spring white dresses (I’m into white on white look!) and wedding dress that Rina made. We shot at the studio in Jiyugaoka. I was happy that we could shoot indoors, as the weather here has been so cold, it actually snowed in Tokyo for the first time this winter. Can’t wait to share the finished photos here!
