There really isn’t anything worse for a scoliosis sufferer than sitting in front of the sewing machine for 4 hours is it? I really ought to buy a new table and chair because after I made this dress I was crippled with pain, it honestly SUCKS TO BE A 15YEAR OLD WHO SUFFERS FROM CHRONIC BACK PAIN! But it was totally worth it. I can just see myself wearing this for the large majority of this summer. When I bought the fabric I intended on making just a plain, all chiffon dress, no ruffles or side panels. As much as I would love to say something outrageous like “the idea came to me in my dream” I can’t, to be honest it didn’t occur to be at all until I realised I made my pattern too small and didn’t fit me! I didn’t have enough chiffon left and the only other black fabric I had was this satin lining. After spending a good 20 minutes sulking and ‘throwing a hissy-fit’ I decided it would be a waste of fabric if I just threw the dress out so I utilised the lining!
Last night I did this headband but it didn’t work out so well; the glue I used was supposed to dry completely clear but it left a horrid white tinge on everything.
My koh-i-noor watercolours have been burning a hole on my desk so today I made some sketches to go with my ready made garments in my portfolio.
And my Louboutins have arrived!!!!! EEEP! I sprayed deodorizer on the inside because I hate that strong smell of leather and kind of f**ed up the gold scripture o.O And they’re slippery, anyone know how to make it grip?
Hope you like them!

PS. I updated my “About who? Me?” 
I don’t know If I said it already but …This blog rocks! I gotta say, that I read a lot of blogs on a daily basis and for the most part, people lack substance but, I just wanted to make a quick comment to say I’m glad I found your blog. Thanks,
A definite great read…
I love that dress! And the side panels are perfect, really brings a plain dress to a new level. I think the headband would be better if you ditched all of the beads and stuff.
Yay ^.^, love the Luboutins!
Generally I do not post on blogs, but I would like to say that this post really forced me to do so, Excellent post!

Thanks!
Ah! That’s the catch with Loubs, you want to add gel pads, and grip pads and all sorts, but you don’t want to ruin the Loubi-ness (Loubi-ness WTF?) of them! it’s a vicious cycle!

Oh, and fab (Did I just say fab? What is wrong with me today?) dress by the way Angela, it reminds me of the 60′s swingers, (if there were less drugs and more class) Did that just sound like an insult? I’m sorry if it did, I mean your dress is classy AND retro! (I’m just a lil’ bit loopy this morning)
