Previously 3 weeks ago I've told myself, 1000 followers on instagram then only i will write a new entry on my blog!! Until then yes!!! I thought is been almost a month without any update here and fuhh!! what a journey!! and my followers on Instagram is reach 1k yesterday!! I am so happy, glad and thankful! One of the reason because most of my new followers are Belgian! Yes perhaps i can make new contact more with local people over here. Thousand thanks to all my followers in there who keep supporting by following, liking as well commenting every picture i have put in there.
Btw let's talk about the topic eh! as in the title above!LOL! Hahah!! What not to be proud when i am myself, imagining, cutting, designing, tailoring, sewing and wearing my own entire DIY outfit. Obviously it
was also my first experience designing a dress and it's so lucky me because it turn out pretty good! This dress i am specially made for myself to attend Brussels fashion Days last month.
Usually straight cutting dress are the most easiest outfit to design. This is because the length between the shoulder, and from shoulder to the waist is the only part that u have to concern more during the measurement process or sometimes it doesn't have to be at all. It's all depends on what u want and need. But in my case, yes!! i do care in some part. Believe it or not! i did cut this dress without any pattern! Just some measurement on my shoulder to chest part, and from my chest part to my waist area. That it! It was a battle and in case if is wouldn't turn good, i bought extra fabrics! Haha..
It took me one whole day non stop to prepare this outfit. Some part as usually i hand sewing, The most special part in the collar area where i have mix some of my Malay culture tradition ethnic hand embroidery it call jahit mata lalat. (thanks to my mum who thought me how to do this on my previous life) 5hrs i spend my time just for that. Its crazy isn't it? But again in my another perception? Why not? I am fashion lover and for me real fashionista sometimes have to know how to design, tailor and sewing their own outfit..
How i defined myself when i wore this outfits?? Phewww it's hard to say... when i have to make my own judgement about my own outfit. But i received comment from the instagrammers (those who saw me during that event) mentioning 'super stylish'... and etc. Anyway i am not gonna talk much and i just wanna let all this picture speaks some words for me.
Picture taken last week in the studio by my usual favourite photographer Bram. After all! It was a great experience! hahah! from designing till photo shooting i am feeling like i am a real designer. I hope u guys enjoy every picture i have upload here. I am looking forward for my another post in my next coming soon Christmas/new year project! and hey next time is being duo! Stay tune guys!! xx
