My Darkbrown Top

The last top for my wardrobe contest entry.

The style: mock wrap-over look, plunging V-neckline, empire waistline, long sleeve.
I use a stretchy knit fabric. This is my first time sewing a stretchy fabric and it was difficult.
This top has a lot poor sewing works. I had revised the position of the upper front pieces to the band and add more pleats to prevent it from gap at my first try.

The pattern, i use BWOF 05-2009 103A. Read my pattern review.

My Pencil Skirt

Another skirt for my wardrobe contest entry.


Here's the overall look.
This is actually my i-just-got-back-from-work look.
Yes, i wear it today, as soon as i finish sewing it last night :)

:: Closer look ::

The style: knee-nipping pencil skirt. Below knee lenght. High waisted. Pleats on the front. Darts & vent at the back. Fully line. Attached belt carrier.

I love love love this skirt. Like BWOF said, it create a superb silhouette :)

:: The lining::
I use a soft grey fabric as the lining. Feels like silk or chiffon.

:: Pattern pieces ::

:: The fabric ::
I use only one meter (60" width) of darkbrown stripes suiting fabric.

I use BWOF 08-2009 Pattern 110. Read my pattern review.

Another one bottom and one top left to sew. Bye!

My Straight-Cut Grey Trousers

Finally, a trousers for my wardrobe contest entry. I change both the pattern and fabric from what i planned in my preliminary plan. Here's the look.

:: And some overall looks ::

I use a suiting dark grey fabric. (The color here is different from pictures above, maybe because of the off white balance setting) I'm quite dumb about fabric type. I dont really know what this fabric is.

:: Here's a close look of the fabric ::

:: The pattern pieces ::

I use BWOF 07-2009 Pattern 102. Read my pattern review.



The model wear it lovely. Maybe its better in white. Can u believe i forgot about the belt carrier in mine?? And the fit: I know its not perfect. I sew 42. Lesson learned. I should sew 40 next time.

My Black Flared Skirt

One of the rules of the wardrobe contest at pattern review is "All tops must go with all bottoms." So, i change my preliminary plan a bit. Still using the same planned pattern but instead of print fabric, i go for a black flared skirt for an easy-matching outfit. Here's my first bottom for the contest.

I wear it with a black wide belt in this pictures.

The style: Close fitting upper yoke has back zipper. Lower part flared until right below the knee.
This skirt is a very easy and not much time consuming to sew.
I love the flirty flare and create a bit like vintage look.

I hope this skirt will match with all of my other tops.

:: Super easy pattern: 3 pattern pieces ::

I took this pattern from my Shopaholic Sewist blogshop.

I use Mc Call's 4783.

My DarkBrown PolkaDot Blouse

Top 1 for my wardrobe contest entry.

The style: Front and back waist darts and an empire seam line.
I love this style and makes me look slender. The long blouse create a slimming effect. Love it!
The original pattern has long sleeves. But I shorten the sleeve because 1) not enough fabric & 2) I dont need a long-sleeve blouse in my hot-weather-country.

:: The making ::

I use dark brown polka dot 100% cotton fabric. Comfy and easy to sew. Love it.
I use pattern 110 from BWOF 05/2009. There's two version in the mag. A plaid fabric blouse and a plain white blouse. Read my pattern review.




Ok! One top more to go. I havent start any of the 4 bottoms. And about 5 weeks left.
Have a great weekend!
