Here is a commissioned dress I’ve just finished making. It is a simple pinafore dress with hand drawn dotted lines in black along the facing seam and the two front pockets. There are two holes along the neckline, one on the front and the other on the back. There is a horizontal seam in the skirt section dividing the dress as well as the pockets. I had the idea of using two different fabrics when I made this detail and I will probably make one soon.

Does this dress look familiar? It is almost the same as the Cultured Girl’s dress of “It rained into her room.” collection but without the red lines on the pockets and with the hole details around the neck of the Cultured Girl’s dress of “minus the sun, night all day” collection.

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.
