the Amusing Girl’s top and skirt final ver.

These are the final versions of the Amusing Girl’s top and skirt for “minus the sun, night all day” collection. The 3/4 sleeve top is made of dark orange linen and wine red cotton sateen. The gathered mini skirt is made of navy corduroy and cream cotton fabric with silver lines. I imagine the colour of mars and silver shimmer of stars in this look.

the Solitary Girl’s dress final ver.

Here it is, finally. This is the dress for the Solitary Girl of “minus the sun, night all day” collection. The bodice, neckline, and cuffs are made with silk linen fabric in pastel emerald green. The sleeves and the triangle bit at the neck are made with cotton fabric in a similar colour. The crocheted hood and cuffs are made with cotton in off-white. The draw string at the hem is grosgrain ribbon in cream colour. Have a look at the calico version as well.

The crocheted hood is lacy with holes and has a scalloped edge.
Stars are like holes in the sky.

The hood is detachable, using buttons.

The hole is representing a lonely star, just like the girl who likes to be alone.

the Amusing Girl’s top and skirt calico ver.

This is the calico version of the Amusing Girl’s look of “minus the sun, night all day” collection. The boat neck top has a patterned yoke and 3/4 sleeves. The gathered mini skirt has covered buttons at the side opening and ribbon trimmings at the hem. I like her style to be fun and cheerful as she is a thoughtful girl who uses her energy to entertain the other girls.

The yoke section will have a star inspired embroidery pattern
