Here is the final version of the Self-Conscious Girl’s dress of “minus the sun, night all day” collection. Her style is quite girlie and louder compared to the other girls’ since she likes dressing up, looking good, and taking care of herself.  Same to the calico version, the neckline is a deep V neck, front and back.  The skirt is shorter at the front and longer at the back.  The hem is bound with the same red fabric used for the top panels to emphasise the hemline. The chest panels are embroidered with French knots using silk thread in dusk pink, light orange, and silver grey representing a cluster of stars.

I’ve made it with my leftover fabrics so there are 5 different fabrics used for this tie strap dress. The top panels are made with cotton sateen in dark red and lined with linen in dark orange. The tie shoulder straps are made with white cotton fabric with textured lines. The first row of the skirt is made with cream cotton fabric with silver lines and the second row of the skirt is made with plain white cotton.

This is the final version of the Dreamy Girl’s look for “minus the sun, night all day” collection. The short sleeve top has a T-shirt silhouette but it is a little seductive with a hole at the chest. The loose fit 3/4 trousers are relaxed and cute with knitted cuffs. Many handicraft skills are used in this look, crochet, knitting, embroidery, and stitching.

The top is made of off-white textured silk fabric and light orange cotton fabric aruond the neckline. The cut out crocheted section and the hanging strings with metal beads representing a dreamcatcher is made of cotton yarn. French knots are embroidered around the cut out section. The neckline, sleeves, and hem have cotton ribbon trimmings finished with blanket stitch in light orange.

The trousers are made of stripy textured cotton fabric in baby blue and plain fabric at the waist. It has two pockets at the front and a round yoke at the bottom section. The waist is elasticated and has a cotton ribbon draw string. The hem is finished with blanket stitched cotton ribbon and ribbed cuffs made of silk/cotton yarn.

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.

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

This look was for my masters project but I had only made the stockings at that time. I have recently made the bra and the knickers so here they are, the Sensuous Girl’s look for “You’re all mine. (You’re all in me.)” collection. The stockings are hand crocheted using silk yarn as well as the bra cups and the frills of the knickers. The fabric is cream cotton sateen. The straps of the bra are cotton grosgrain ribbons and have gold adjusters. The closure is by two covered buttons at the back.
