Project Title: Green JSK from Otome no Sewing vol 6 plus matching french hood.
Short Project Description: A simple green JSK with gold trim plus a french hood. Something that one can wear at office.
Project Started: 22nd February
Project Completed: 15th February
Did you discover something you would like to share? Decided to buy bi-stretch fabric for this project as it draped lovely but my god it made putting in the invisible zip a right pain! However saying that I love it. It is a hard wearing fabric so I don't have to worry about getting it messy and the overall design turned out nicely, perfect for officewear and when I wear the french hood hopefully it will be okay for lolita
How happy are you with the result? Definitely! I particular like the french hood as I always like bonnets but they made me look a bit well....silly. However the french hood is actually quite flattering.

Back of the dress
And the ever essential pockets.
After I made the dress I thought it was time to turn my attention to headdress. As much as I like bonnets, they do not like me so I thought I would give french hoods a try. The pattern was one that I found on the internet when I typed in french hood. Here is the end result.

I created the flowers using my tsumami technique and then carefully glued down the gold chainlink thread. I sewed in the beads in the flower centres though as there is no way I could glue those on without looking ugly.
Now I just need to find the time to wear the whole thing.
