RE: Sewing a Japanese wrap-dress… and some complications
I should have thought about this before I bought the fabric ... but I so wanted to try out the pattern and linen (as recommended in the book) is much too expensive. Now I have this funny and stiff dress :-D
I yesterday cut is and I like the shorter version much better. I am now contemplating to insert back darts to give it a more defined waistline. Not sure if this will work.
And with the photos... I am naturally skilled in making fun of myself and document it :-D On Sunday I tried to mimic a bunny while I was on a stroll with my husband - he filmed it :-DDDD
Those back darts sound like a good idea for the waistline, I always find that a well-defined waistline can upgrade a garment from something average to something more dressy. Good luck with those!
Your pics are really fun to look at and I'd say that bunny video would be something cool and funny :DDD I'll have to pick up a few fun-photo tips and tricks from you :)))
If I am honest my technique for photos is that I mostly quit thinking.... 😂 ANd than I need someone who makes photos from slightly higher, than my head looks bigger and I slimmer 😂
After seeing you in your amazing dress, the last tip is unnecessary for you: you have such a beautiful figure 😍💕😍
awww, many thanks for that last comment :D although I find it was simply a particularly good angle I found :)
I also find that pictures taken from a slightly higher angle are usually more flattering. It's all about the angles and light, it seems.
I think tips are always necessary, as the wrong angle can ruin the best looking people...
One useful tip I found somewhere on the internet is to keep your arms away from the body, that way the waist and the whole torso looks slimmer. :DDD
