Peignoir sewing
March 10, 2014Hello lovelies,
I am currently working on a peignoir (see through nightgown) because I got into cult party kei. OTL
This is most unfortunate because I anyway love so many different fashion styles and I really don't want to spend more money on new ones.
And a simple peignoir is about 40€ on etsy (with shipping to Austria, which alone is 10€. Damn the high charges.) and therefore I decided to do my own.
I bought fabric in Kritzendorf (all hail Kritzendorf, I got 3m for 6€) and made the pattern on Friday.
Saturday was a lazy day but I started sewing today and got pretty far already, even though I didn't sew more than 2h.
To get those puffy sleeves I cut the pattern of the sleeves in half and put them on the fabric with 50cm width difference.
It looks so tiny because I am so small, but it actually goes to my knees! To make it a bit longer I will add ruffles (hooray!) with a length of 10-15cm.
The seam. A normal stitch followed by a huge zig-zag stitch.
2 layers of a blurry cuff.
This is my long and very puffy sleeve. It goes down until after my ellbow.
And this is how it looks with the cuff sewed on. I have to admit, I was too lazy to do this today and therefore it is hold only by pins. But you don't see them at all! Amazing.
I already got some asks to do a tutorial and I definitely will! It is very easy and the outcome is just amazing. I can't wait to wear it and compare it with the peignoir I bought. (I am a very weak human being. But at least it was "only" 17€ with shipping.)
Talking about shopping... did I show you the most amazing dress I every found in Orsay?
Front, Back plus a detailed shot of the flowers. I feel like a painting when I wear the dress *_*
I hope I'll find a good occasion soon so that I can wear it!
The other things I got on this shopping day was mainly cosmetics.
I read some really good review on Smashbox so I got their "try it kit". I hope to "try it" very soon :).
The other items are a Marionnaud nail polish, two art deco camouflage, a cleansing milk from douglas, a cream from biotherm and a white make-up pen by NYX. I decided to buy it after pretty good reviews on tumblr. And because of the name....it's called Cottage cheese.
Then, yesterday in the evening I bought a lot of stuff on ebay and on Friday I finally bought my waist training corset. It's from "What Katie did". It will arrive in 4 weeks (or less, I hope..) and I am truly excited.
So..the new waiting list:
- two ribbon belts from ebay (blue and apricot)
- two hair ribbon in pink from ebay
- one black dress with a bow at the back from ebay
- one corset from what katie did
- three items from restyle (one corset, one body strap and a bag)
- four thread boxes from ebay
- one wig from ebay
- 15 sewing machine feet from ebay
- 3 punch tools from ebay
Sorry for the long post!

Darunter passt leider absolut kein petticoat ;_;! Also als Lolitakleid ist es leider nicht verwendbar ;_;
How did you make the pattern?
ReplyDeleteI changed it a bit but the basepattern was from a lolita dress. :)
