ça vous fait une belle jambe, n'est-ce-pas?
Sauf que je me suis rendu compte qu'il n'était pas top, mon top... un peu trop long... un peu trop lâche... un peu "j'vais pas l'mettre très souvent". Rien de grave, ceci dit puisque, je suis atteinte d'une légère phobie - légère! - celle de ne pas avoir assez de tissu pour réaliser un modèle. Du coup, en fait, j'en achète toujours beaucoup trop... Et trop de tissu pour un top fait assez de tissu pour prolonger le dit top en robe...
You might remember this top I made - a bit prematurely - in Februari... Well, I finally had a chance to wear it!!!
I know... this news is just thrilling, isn't it?
Except that I now know that my top isn"t that "top"... a bit too long, a bit too wide... a bit the "I ain't going to wear it that often" kind. No big deal, though, as I have this slight phobia that could be defined as 'lacking of fabric when I am working on a model"... Which means I always end up buying way too much fabric... And too much fabric to make a top means enough fabric to make a dress out of it...
Même pas difficile, la prolongation puisque j'ai juste rajouté une bande de 35cm de tissu. pouf
Not even a difficult change as I only added a 35cm wide fabric strip.
Et, comme ces explications sont très peu compréhensibles (j'vais m'amuser dans 2 secondes pour retranscrire en anglais...)... petite photo explicative et démonstrative:
And what about this button problem I told you about yesterday, I hear you ask... Just sec'... here comes the explanation...
Ad the top was too wide, the dress too ended up too wide. I then had this bright ideas to add 2 pleats in the back and a little matching fabric strip to gather the fabric in the bottom of my back. Fabric strip I wanted (fakely) fixed with assorted buttons... I never found... But, luckily, fabric covered buttons exist!
As this explanation isn't very clear (in French either, don't worry)... here's a 'clear' picture...
So, after the dress that makes me look all blurry, here's the dress that makes me look overexposed...
