Shealth Dress to a Crop Top
Hey Guys,
So Alex & I decided to challenge ourselves this summer and create as many projects as we can. We also promised ourselves that we will be more committed to this blog and update more often then we have been doing, because to be honest we have fallen off quite a bit. So with that said, I would like to show you guys what I've been working on recently. I loved the sheath dress that I made for my Clothing Analysis class so much that I had an idea to sort of revamp the pattern and make a crop top from it.
Here is the pattern which can be found in Joanns, online, or anywhere where patterns are sold. Also here is Alex modeling the original dress!

So I measured where exactly I wanted the top to end, then measure that length on the pattern and marked it, cut it, then followed the regular instructions for the pattern. Here is the finished result...

DIY Graphic T-Shirt
So I recently came across this video from user Soni Lore on YouTube on how to make your own graphic t-shirt! I would definitely recommend this video for anyone who
1) wants to renovate old clothes from there closet that they were contemplating throwing away or tossing them to the hand-me-down pile
2) loves to have originally made clothes that all their friends are jealous of
3) wants something creative to do
4) is extremely bored and just need something fun to do
Whichever is your reason, this video is definitely something you should check out! We're going to attempt to do it and show you all our results. Until then, have fun :)
xoxo,
Alex

Tee's 2nd Semester - Sophomore Yr.
Hey Guys,
Now that school is out and it's summer time, I finally have time to tell you all a little about the classes I took for the second half of my sophomore year! For those of you interested in taking up Fashion Merchandising as a major in college, here is an idea of what classes we took. Though these classes are specific to our universities, we wanted to help you get a sense of what the major consist of. So with that said lets get started...
This time around I took Retailing, which is a marketing class and Clothing Analysis.
In Retailing we discussed ways retailers develop a retailing strategy and retailing mix to be successful in the market place. Retailers focus on so many aspects of business, from the right location, target market, style and layout of the store and so much more. We learned how some companies such as Starbucks and Apple build a competitive advantage over their competition. The class is really all about how companies start out and how they figure out the smartest way to develop their business.
Clothing Analysis is a class where we had to construct and analyze a garment then compare the standards of the garment to the standards of the industry. We were to inspect all aspects of the garment from the design to the final production. It was our decision to select the appropriate textile, findings, and stitches that would comply with the design and the production standards of the industry. The whole class had to make the same dress in the same size. Here is the final product
