Summer Skater


Skater dresses has been a must have item for every girl this past year. I've seen so many variations that often too many times they began to look a like. I adore the look, but I wanted something different then what was out there. Of course, you know I had to make my own. 

I decided to use the left over fabric I had from my maxi dress I made, which I posted about early on this season; Summer Leaves (Take a look)


I created a simple skirt bottom using my sisters skater dress she bought from H&M. Then I decided to drape the bodice, because like I said before I wanted something different. I asked my mannequin, "Mannequin what should I do" and it told me. I gave the front a cross bodice. Picture making an X with the fabric on your chest. Having more fabric on the bottom than the top. I sewed the bottom on to the skirt waist and sewed the shoulders. This ended up creating a great look and cute cut out on the sides. 

I truly love this dress. It is fun, flirty and trendy!!!

How to Style // Highwaist Pants

How many of you ladies still have pooch trouble. You know "pooch", it's the daunting bottom of your midsection area that is not always visible unless your wearing something formfitting. It's the little area that if you could just slide it off you would be able to have the six pack you always wanted. Luckily, there are several  clothing that can camouflage this section while it's still under construction. Even if it's not under construction it is great to have a pair of items that flatters rather than gather.
