I fear where your fashion sense is going, my friend. :::Shakes head::: Dress 1 screams "Kindergarten classroom" and is everything I have spent my life avoiding in terms of teacher sweaters.

[sadeyedartist]

I mean dress 2.

[dear_mo]

Really? I think it's one of the cutest skirts I've made yet! I had a lot of fun picking everything out for Franny's Christmas present. I'd totally wear it!

[sadeyedartist]

You amaze me. Perhaps YOU are the cutest for having such innocent tastes. I... however, must have adopted a sophistocate's snobbery about such things. I just can't handle this series of dresses.

I think the dino skirt rocks, Envi looks adorable wearing it. It's definitely not sophisticated, but it's adorable and the work that went into it is quite evident. The applique and the choice of trim are unexpected, and really cool.

She did look so adorable!! I'm thinking of making more 'poodle skirt' inspired loli skirts. I have a new cat print that is just begging to be used. :P

Ooo~ Your craftfoam armor attempts look so much better than mine!
Yeah, modpodge cracking sucks. TT___TT

Dino skirt = ♥!! >w<

The JSK confuses me 'cause it looks like it has 2 waistlines? A higher waist and a drop waist? @__@;; Other than that, it's really feminine and pretty~

[dear_mo]

Awe, thanks! I was having trouble with it until I started using the mod podge. (With the exception of the Tiss things. I am going to use leather!) Ug, but the sanding!! Even with the electric sander my arms were all wiggly with exhaustion. LOL, lousy arm strength.

Yay, dino skirt! I want to make a matching skirt with a different dino applique so we can casually twin at some point. :P

Yeah, I ran out of my fabric and had to get creative with the double waistline. :\

For chop supplies, you might want to hit Chinatown. The Bazaar has actual marble blocks and carving tools for making chops, though carving tools might be better quality at a craft/art store. I get my marble there (or just slice up an eraser, but my chops themselves aren't usually on display. : P)

[dear_mo]

Oooh, what a great idea! And I've been meaning to visit Chinatown too. Lol, I'd think that carrying a marble chop might be really heavy? I thought it would be made of wood, but maybe it should be made of something more elegant since it's supposed to be royal...

Lol, let me know if you want to hit up Chinatown anytime soon. I prefer going with people; it's more fun that way. :)

Love that dino skirt~!

[dear_mo]

Lol, you would!! I'm glad that you do. :P
