Sewing diary 7/27/24
Amarena dress is on pause for now. Was not loving how the muslin was turning out on my hips. I will probably keep the bodice construction (which has great darts for large chests!) and sleeves but completely hack the skirt.
I have been working this week on the Sewing Therapy Tie Dress, which looks very flattering on the creator (above) and on some other people on Instagram. It did not look flattering on me, even two sizes down. Thank goodness I made a test muslin!
So! I finally thought fuck it, these are my clothes I can make them the way I want. I took the paper pattern and compared it to a couple of similarly constructed dresses from Uniqlo that I love and that I think fit me well.
I cut the side panel to take out about five inches overall and give it a waistline and a curve from the waist to the armhole. It was previously a completely straight line from armpit to skirt, which looked awful untied and bunched oddly when tied at the sides.
I also cinched the skirt in the same amount at the waistband then graded it out to give it a lot more fullness, probably six inches all together, plus a few inches extra length. This makes sense because I am several inches taller than the creator. I also deepened the V of the neckline, again using a dress I like as the model.
I half-ass tested this new waistline and side seam on my muslin and it seems like it'll work out. I am unfortunately out of muslin fabric now so I can't cut another one with my new pattern pieces to fully test it. I think I'm just going to cut into my main fabric and pray....
Speaking of, I have this GORGEOUS Merchant and Mills Tartlet Stripe Linen as my real fabric. It's sold out on their site so I got it from an independent shop. I loooooove it and am hopeful that I bought enough to also get a shirt out of it after this dress. We'll see.
Wish me luck!

Tumblr please be nice to this post and don't hide it again
Cadenza is our resident fashion girlie and honestly she deserved to design Aphmau's wedding dress so here's how I think she would have reacted depending on the ship, alphabetically, feel free to add on or request more
Aphmau and Aaron: standard overjoyed reaction and definitely would have up played the Shad and Irene parelles in the designs if she knew, She also would have sewn a Lilly of the Valley on the inner lining of Aaron's robe just as a remembrance. Both of them get stuck with Grecian style robes and jewelry. With Aph in light purple, whites and golds while Aaron gets stuck with blacks, reds and silver.
Aphmau and Garroth: Not only is she making the dress for Lady Irene herself, she's also making the suit for someone who was essentially a prince of the region so she first makes a super proper and over the top designs.. before realizing they both hate them. Cadenza then gets the idea to make a fancy version of the dress Aphmau wore to Donna and Logan's wedding and steals Garroth's guard uniform to pretty it up.
Aphmau and Katelyn: At first she would have been overjoyed to make two matching dresses, then sad when Katelyn said she didn't want a dress and then excited again when she realized she gets to design a women's suit. Aphmau gets a light purple poofy cupcake dress to match Katelyn's slimmed down suit, complete with light blue cape. they both accessorize with silver and diamonds
Aphmau and Laurance: the one time she's more excited to design the guy's rather than the lady's because Cadenza has been sketching out Laurance's wedding outfit since she was like 12 and it needs to be PERFECT since it's her brother, sure it throws off her plans when Aphmau says she doesn't want a white dress but Cadenza makes it work with a swirling seafoam pattern and pearls to compliment the ember inspired suit adorned with rubies and gold she makes Laurance.
Aphmau and Zoey: She gets to make matching dresses and is SO excited, does she have to alter her mannequine because Zoey is so tall? yes but that also gives Cadenza more room to embroider and bead a pattern on Zoey's skirt's that merges into Aphmau's when they stand together so it forms a beautiful pattern that represents their journey as a couple. The dresses are both A-line with the Top of Zoey's dress being a dark teal that fades to white and Aphmau's being the inverse with a dark purple. They both have lots of vines and flower accessories
#aphblr#minecraft diaries#aphmau#as someone who sews Cadenza has always been one of my favorites#let her design pretty things pls

I made a petite mori doll! (๑ > ᴗ < ๑)°ᡣ𐭩 . ° . !!
I haven’t made something for a while due to a creative block and work. Since it’s mid autumn festival in Korea I managed to make something fast, cute and it’s the size of my hand! (*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ*.゚
