Belle

Happy New Year everyone!

Here are the pictures of the Belle dress I made for my friend Emma. You can see the progress post here.







Emma had bought the original dress online- it was too short, so she asked me to extend the skirt to a puffy layered one like Belle's. I also widened the shoulder straps. I find that adding extra cloth to a skirt is a really simple way to DIY a dress into something a little more dressy. You could for instance, use this technique to transform a short body-con party dress into a floor-length fishtail gown.

  3. Thanks Vivian :) I learnt a bit from my mum and home economics in high school. These days I try to read pattern-making books and look at tutorials online. It's still a bit hit-and-miss though :) Ohh by the way I had a look at your blog- I love your crocheted top! Have you been making clothes for long?

  6. Water Hack Burns 2lb of Fat OVERNIGHT

    More than 160 thousand women and men are hacking their diet with a simple and secret "water hack" to lose 1-2lbs every night while they sleep.

    It's painless and it works with everybody.

    This is how you can do it yourself:

    1) Go grab a clear glass and fill it up with water half full

    2) And then do this strange HACK

    so you'll become 1-2lbs skinnier when you wake up!
