Sending good vibes to all of my trans comrades 
Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.
I have this light green bedsheet that I got for free from my old college (they had a free room where people could bring their unused stuff and I took a Lot of clothes and fabric from there). Remembered it again the other day as I was cleaning out my sewing room, and decided that I needed to use it for something. I wanted to do a light, romantic, yet summery dress and I sketched out a bunch of possible designs.
Ofc there's no pattern out there that really fits this garment, but that's okay because I want to learn pattern drafting anyways. I have never drafted a pattern before, but I'm definitely interested in doing it even as a novice sewist. This dress might not be the first pattern that I draft because a lot of the designs I've sketched are kind of complicated, but it's definitely a project I want to do down the line.
These designs are numbered in the order I made them. I think it's obvious that I really like bishop sleeves and flared skirts, haha. I think 4 is really fun, I basically thought "what if I took a poet shirt and made it a dress". Definitely one of the top candidates for what I go with. 6 looks pretty different from the others because it's inspired by hanfu, Wei/Jin dynasty hanfu in particular. I'm not usually a fan of the asymmetrical wrap-around style, but I love it in hanfu; and I'm definitely going to try to learn how to sew some hanfu (the patterns actually look relatively simple from what I could find.) Of course, 6 is not a traditional hanfu by any means; it's a single-piece and the skirt is short. I'm also a fan of 8, I wonder how drop-sleeved bishop sleeves could work.
Anyways I had a lot of fun thinking up these designs and hopefully I can make one (or maybe more, in other colors!) of them work eventually.
These are really nice design's
Thank you!
You're welcome ^^
Hi yes I would like a 5 and a 7, maybe a 6... And yeah might as well throw a 3 and a 4 in, thank you.
These look great.
pulls out a notepad yes ma'am
Thank you, glad you enjoy them
These are all great! Of them I think 5 might be the easiest to coord on account of its versatility as a JSK allowing you to use it as a spring dress on top of a blouse in addition to it being a summer dress. Similarly I think 4 would look incredible depending on how you accessorised it, it's probably my actual favourite among these. But if your goal is primarily to challenge yourself 8 is probably best to figure out how to make the dropped bishop sleeves work.
My current go-to style is pretty punk, so I'm planning on accessorizing a dress like this with like a chunky spiked choker, fishnets, black boots, a bunch of DIY jewelry, maybe a chest harness when I eventually get one. Plus heavy eye makeup and black lipstick. But I really admire lolita and in the past I was actually thinking of trying to get a coord, so some of that bleeds into my designs at times. Currently, I'm pretty set on 4 as the one I try to make first, and 8 probably as the second.
Oh right I didn't mean specifically as a lolita coord, I moreso just meant that 5 would be easy to coordinate into a lot of different outfts. I'm just too lolita brained so I use lolita terms for everything fashion related ๐ Those accessories definitely sound like they'd go well with 4, especially the jewelry and choker, so I definitely think your choice of doing it first is best.
6 is such a beautiful style.
Wei/Jin hanfu is gorgeous, I am in love with the ruffly sleeves on some sets. Here's an example of what I'm referencing, this is one of my favorite hanfu sets ever.
Oh my god, I never wear dresses and in awe of how pretty that is!
