All girls love some bling (myself included) and DD got a good dose of it yesterday. These two pieces came together very quickly and that's good cause I want to get going on a jacket I'm planning. More on that later.
First up: BWOF 06-2008-134
Hollywood Glamour Blouse
This was made by sewing the dupioni and sequins as one. I washed the silk first so it's soft and enclosed all seams. It's best worn layered due to the structure.
Here's the link to the sequined fabric (the dupioni color sold out I think)

Disco Shorts
These were requested by DD upon seeing the fabric and I think she showed great innovation here. It's a knit metallic, very soft with great drape. It doesn't stretch much though, which is a bit misleading on Fabric.com's website. I had originally bought it for a skating outfit but don't think it would work unless you only use it for details like a skirt or part of the bodice.
Photo shoots are so fun when I'm behind the camera :)) I need to sew for her more cause she just loves modeling for me! I'll share some more shots before heading over to post the reviews. I'm entering the contest on PatternReview which I actually hadn't planned on doing. But then I read the reason for having this contest: To encourage those of us who sew for children to post reviews. I so agree with that, and I'm guilty of not doing it too often. Btw, thank you Trena for managing the contest. I used your slapdash philosophy on the blouse as you will see on the crooked lines inside :))
Love these buttons from F & S Fabrics
LOL! A fashionista in the making or maybe a disco queen. Fun and she's adorable.
ReplyDeleteYour little girl is a diva! Adorable in that outfit!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet and well made too.
ReplyDeleteI love those shorts. If I only had a daughter... not that I regret having a son, of course, but lucky you, you can have fun. This is pretty, inventive, fun to look and probably to wear. Your daughter will get used to those mother creations... oh la la ! I hope I can follow your blog for decades to come, in order to see the wedding dresses for the oldest and the little one. Super cool outfit coming from an extra cool mother ! You are out of this world. Visiting your blog is a joy.
ReplyDeleteQuite the little glam gal! Cute threads, Mom!
ReplyDeleteAnother stunning outfit for your little star.
ReplyDeleteOMG, my DD needs a pair of disco shorts! I cannot allow her to go to "Disco Bingo" again without a pair.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great outfit! One look from my eldest and now she is highly disappointed in the seersucker dress that I am making her! lol
ReplyDeleteWOW what an adorable little girl and a super cool outfit. I love the fabrics you used.
ReplyDeleteI think you have a superstar in the making? She so cute. Love the Hollywood Glam.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great model for your glamorous garments! Really cute, I mean fabulous (my daughter hates it when I tell her she looks cute :)!
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous. I made my DDs gold sequined skirts but they were just tubes with elastic at the waist - nothing so couture as your young lady's outfit.
ReplyDeleteHow fun and adorable! Your daughter certainly has that STAR persona and inherited your charm and creativity. You created a stunning outfit for her that Hollow-wood ones cannot beat!
