organza Archives - Vivat Veritas

I made this flower girl’s dress for Kiko for my brother’s wedding last weekend. We don’t have a custom of flower girl or ring boy in Japan, so the made-up function for her at the wedding was a “ring girl”, who brought the wedding rings up to the bride and groom during the ceremony. I was not sure how she can handle it without being shy or running away, but she actually seemed to have enjoyed the task!

My brother’s wedding was the day after we came back from our vacation, so I was in such a hurry in the morning and forgot to take my camera. So today, we went to a nearby park and waited for a sunset to take these pictures.

I made the dress in matte satin and matching color organza. The organza skirt has three layers and the dress is fully lined. I added three flowers in the front chest area, made with satin and pearls. I have not posted this on etsy or my shop, but it is available upon request in any color of your choice! Contact me from here.

先週の弟の結婚式のために、フラワーガールのドレスを作りました。
表布はサテンとオーガンジー。
胸のあたりは手縫いで作ったお花で飾りました。

実際の結婚式では、残念ながらカメラを忘れて行ってしまったので、後日近くの公園で撮影。
夕方の、おひさまが沈む時を狙って、シャッターをきってみました♪

ドレスは、まだショップには載せていないのですが、リクエストがあれば、何色ででもお作りできます。

Here is a short video (35 sec) of our shoot. I enjoyed shooting with my little girl!{find me elsewhere: shop, facebook, etsy, twitter, pinterest, instagram}

The weather in Tokyo has been moody lately. We’ve had some rainy days so Kiko and I worked on an easy craft projects when we could not go to the park to play. It is super easy and all you need is an elastic band and left over fabrics. I had some fabrics left from making this dress, so I cut a little slit along the grain line every three inches so Kiko can rip the fabric to make strings and tie it around the elastic band. The fabric does not have to be organza, any fabrics that are laying around are fine.

Here is how –

What you need:
– Elastic band, cut in the length of your child’s waiste
– Organza, or any fabrics of your choice
– Scissors

How to:
Cut the organza strips in 3 inches width and 2x or what the skirt length should be. Have your child tie the stripes to the elastics. Repeat the same about 20 times, and you’ve made the cute organza skirt!

She loved being in my sewing room and crafting together. I made a short video of the activity if you want to check it out. I want to make more video posts in the future, so if you have any suggestions, please let me know! My youtube channel is here.

最近お天気が悪くて子供と外で遊べない日があったので、簡単なクラフトを一緒にしました。
ゴムを子供のウエストの長さに切って結び、スカート丈の２倍の長さの布を何枚も切って、ゴムに結び付けていきます。
結びつけるところは子供にやってもらって、２０枚ぐらい結べたらスカートの出来上がり！

プリンセスみたいって喜んでいました♪
