The dress of all dresses!

I remember my prom dress from 7 years ago...! I chose that blue (fake) crystal dress, because I felt like a princess. It had the wow factor that I wanted for the only time in my tween life where I could be me, but with a kick-ass dress.

I'm lucky, my dress wasn't too big. But it is nothing compared to this 380 pound crystal incrusted dress!

Created by Gail Be from Edina, Minnesota, this weeding gown is the biggest and the heaviest dress (for now) in the world. Made with 1 000 000 beads, 500 000  crystals and 400 000 pearls, it took 22 seamstresses and 3 years to make.



The dress named Fantasy is not up for sale and it was not made for someone specific. But it is one heck of an art piece!!

First sewing project by myself!

Hello! Since working in MTL, I been trying to sew to keep my skills. It's not that easy! Being lazy is a big part of why I'm not doing as much as I wanted! I was thinking of doing wayyyy more project then 1 + cosplay.

so here is my first dress without the tips from my sewing teacher. I can say that she tought me well!

Oh so chic!

Le futur des vêtements

Vous avez probablement entendu parler de Hussein Chalayan, il est un designer anglais et il est reconnu pour ses styles futuristes qui mélange tissu et matériaux. Il a créé des robe mécanique qui changent de longueur et des chapeaux qui changent de forme. Lors de la semaine de mode de Paris, il a présenté sa collection d'automne et les vêtements semblent avoir sortie d'un film d'espion! Voici un exemple:


Vous pouvez voir le défilé au complet sur Youtube, mais WOW qui dit que la mode n'est pas innovatrice!

Sewing Update

AS you may know, I recently challenged myself to make another Power Rangers cosplay. I chose Kira from Dino Thunder. Here is an update of the situation:

1. The outifit is done and gone!!! I tried it on a few time and I think the dress should have been shorter, but I can't do anything because all the decals are on.
2. I have to redo the gloves, at lest the right hand because my index finger is going to hate me....
3. My boyfriend is making the belt buckle and the hand guards. He is almost done.
4. The belt and the wrist bands are done
5. The boots are painted, but not yellow enough... WHY? I didn't have enough primer and got lazy so I decided to paint anyway...
6. Only the boot bands have to be done for next week, because on the 25th it's Gatineau for G-Anime!!!!

So my next project is not cosplay, even if I plan to make a SPD Yellow or Pink in the future. I'm making a summer dress with polka dot!!!! I saw by accident that polka dots are in fashion this Spring, well great for me!!

Geek dresses

Gosh, I'm really happy that I'm getting sewing courses! You know why?? Because I could make my own Geek Dresses!!! I saw some on the web and I think they're awesome!

JC day 27: Purple cascade+Cosplay update

My power ranger costume is close to be finish!!! Here is the progress:

The black belt is made. The only things left are the arm plates, the hand squares, the belt buckle and the boot squares. My next project is Princess Bubblegum from Adventure Time. Wig is bought and the fabric also. Just new to find a tutorial for the crown.

OOOOOOO here are the jewelery

Cosplay progress!!!!

Welllll, the outfit is almost done!!!!!!! Only the zipper, the cuffs, the belt and the logo to put :) Oh and I got my morpher!!!

Awesome, Awesome, AWESOME! The boots are almost done, just need to put the black rim. My boyfriend, will one day make the missing pieces... 

I tried them on... they crack so much -_-' I'm scared.... But Hey! I know what I'm doing for sunday: Flo the Progressinve girl!!

It's time to sew!

OK NOW! I have finally made up my mind. I will learn how to sew. You may remember a post about the joys of sewing a few months back and how I now feel for people how have to sew for a living. But now, I motivated to perfect my skills (beginner skills :P) and maybe start a past-time and finally make some cosplay.

My fisrt project is from Power Ranger or Super Sentai if you like and it will be Ninja Storm's light blue ranger AKA Tori

No helmet or sword for my first sewing project. I will have to find a way to do the blue wirst cuff and I'll have to find boots. Thank God for spray paint, because I don't think I'll be able to find those specific boots. I'll try to post my progress on Sweet Shinobi and also the final results! All for Montreal Comic Con! If I have time, I'll try to do Jungle Fury Yellow, but if not, probably the Progressive Girl Flo, she's awesome :)

Look de la veille!

Voici un look que j'ai porté vendredi dernier. Et oui, je suis super en retard... paresse de pachat :) Look marine!

Look du jour #ootd

Voici mon fabuleux look du jour! Cet ensemble ma coûté VRAIMENT pas cher! On aime ça les soldes!!! Les bijoux (que j'adore à cause de leur aspect ludique!) proviennent de Claire's, la ceinture d'Ardene, la rode de H&M, les sandales d'Aldo et le sac à main de Spring. Au total, ce look m'a coûté 60 $ ! Je pourrais bien me voir dans l'émission Diva on a Dime!

On essaie les poses de mannequin

Attitude...

Gummy bear dress: SWEEEEEET

For the first issue of Twelv magazine, the staff created a dress made out of 50 000 gummy bears!!! It weights 200 pounds and it needs 3 adults to move. The insperation for this masterpiece is Alexander McQueen, the great british designer who passed away a couple of years ago. After gummy bears on sticks and jumbo ones, the fad is continuing.

Taking three weeks to complete, the final dress was fitted exactly to MAJOR model Jessica Pitti's measurements. And weighing in at approximately 220 pounds, required the strength of three adults to move.

The shoot was held at Splashlight Studios and took 4 to 5 hours to complete.

Father's day look

Here is my look for father's day! Me and my family went to the Hovey Manoir for lunch with my aunt and her family. The place is a 5 stars resort and the food was fabulous. I had a retro feeling for that day.

 

Dress is from the Bay, Material Girl collection. An Ardene bow and my own jewelery. Wore the ensemble with wedge sandals.

There was a robin's nest near our table!! We got to see the mommy robin feeding her babies :) and after, we went to the center of North Hatley and went antique shopping. Old skate!!!

Favorite Designers: Betsy Johnson

In a previous article, I've wrote about the labels I would like to bedressed in for the rest of my life, if I had the money to do it :) I didn't mentioned Johnson, but put it later and I'm ashamed because her work is just amazing and totally in my taste.

He style is fun, colurful and she dresses pop star like Katy Perry. It's fun clothing and extravagent! All from the shoes to the shirt to the purse, she can make them quwerky and fun. http://www.betseyjohnson.com/home/index.jsp

This is from the intimate collection and it's still fabulous!

One day, I will own a piece of Betsy Johnson and her Betsyville collection. Winners has had some items in the past. NEXT TIME!!!

Hello Kitty Magazine Cover!

Did you see the new covers for ELLE Taiwan? They had a shoot with a model in a Hello Kitty costume! Here are some pictures

Taiwan is know for having theme places like restaurants and hotels. They have Hello kitty themed restaurants, hotels and even a hospital! Being a HK fan, I would like to go and visit those places, they just look so inviting. These costumes are very pretty and more glamour then the ones on eBay! HK is truly an icon and has as much star power then Barbie or even more, I mean she's the ambassador of Japan! You can get tons of HK merch with twisted desing and hommages. Some people make fun of me or really find me cute when I say I love HK, but who can't she is just so cute ^^
