Minus Sun

This is the final version of the commissioned shirt dress made with blue/purple-toned cotton fabric and cream coloured cotton yarn. Light blue/purple cotton with white dotted pattern in the weave is used for the shirt section and plain blue/purple cotton is used for the breast pocket, cuffs, and the skirt section. The breast pocket is embroidered with the letter F with some floral motifs around it.

The top section is the same as the Smart Girl’s blouse from “minus the sun, night all day” collection with the crocheted collar and the odd-shaped breast pocket. The bottom section is similar to the Suicidal Girl’s dress from “It rained into her room.” collection except that it has buttons all the way down to the hem making it a shirt dress. Also, the skirt has less gather at the waist and is much longer. The square resin buttons on the front and the round buttons on the cuffs have beads and sequins in pale blue tone and some gold sequins. It is a size 12 so it might look loose on me here as I’m a size 8 but you get the idea.

Here is the final version of the commissioned sailor collar dress. It is made of white cotton and royal blue cotton sateen fabric. I used the same cotton ribbon as the prototype for the lines and the tie at the neck but I bleached it to match the white fabric. The design is almost the same but slightly more fitted around the hip to have less volume in the skirt section. There is also a detachable triangle piece at the neck with snap buttons for when you want to dress smart (or for colder days so you can wear a T underneath).

Hello, I am still alive. This dress was commissioned by my friend who has been inspired by the nurse costume I had made for myself last year. The original was a baby pink mini-dress but this one is in navy and knee-length. The hem is done with a cream coloured fabric in addition to the pocket detail and the covered buttons. There are hidden snap buttons along the front left bodice and the waist bands to be done at the back. A welt pocket on the left chest and the two front pockets are sewn into the seams making them secure and neat. Made in cotton.

This is a commissioned version of the covered button coat. I had originally made this style for myself to wear at craft fairs but now I do made-to-order because I receive compliments when I’m wearing it. It is a simple calico coat with 3/4 sleeves, fabric covered buttons, side seam pockets and a pleat at the back. It is fully lined with lighter calico.

This commissioned version has a welt pocket on the left chest and embroidery details on the back in addition. The “ARE YOU OKAY?” embroidery on the yoke and the sitting girl figure on the right bottom are embroidered in navy. The logo above the girl and the brand name at the inside neck are embroidered in hot pink.
