Senior Fashion Show Collection

My Dearest Lords and Ladies,

I do apologize for my extremely long absence. It was my last year finishing up my fashion degree at CCAD where our thesis was to create a collection of garments for an end of the year runway show. I'm afraid I was living in the lab for most of the year as I wanted six garments in the show, and they had to be approved by a jury by the first week of March. So, you forgive me, don't you?

I thought I would spoil your appetites with the sugary sweetness of my senior collection, where six garments were made---inspired by Jean Honore Fragonard's paintings, the Rococo spirit, and of course my love for Lolita. In the collection, I featured two little girls, who are sweet as can be and made working with them such a treat. It was my hope to feature them for Pop Princess' Big Sister, Little Sister line!

Alright, enough chatter! : 3 On with the photos, eh? You can see more photos as they are on sale at my Etsy: Pop Princess

Fashion Week Columbus: Success for Pop Princess!

Dear Lovely Readers,

I am sure you are wondering where on earth I have disappeared on this long hiatus and I apologize for neglecting you with posts and other updates to keep you apprised on all things cute! While the absence was long, I promise it was well spent!

Many long hours and sleepless nights were devoted to finishing up my four garments and accessories that debuted this last Friday, October 14th, at FWC (Fashion Week Columbus) with my partner in crime and good friend, Joella. With our nimble fingers and a good deal of coffee, we ruffled and sewed and beaded our little hearts out until the night of the show! We had a few hiccups here and there (like the kitten running off with a button I needed and returning it... today, which meant an extra trip to the fabric store) but in the end we endured and turned out a beautiful show.

We arrived at the place of the show at 2:00 pm, and was there until 8:00 pm when the show finally took place. It was a mess back stage with everyone steaming and ironing and some still sewing on their pieces, eating candy and chips, and mostly being bored as there was really not much to do until hair and make up went in to play.

Look forward to a few photos to be posted up here, and then for the dresses and garments to be sale on the Etsy shop! : )

If you couldn't attend, here's a sneak peek at the garments that went down the runway!
Congratulations and time to sleep!!!

Fashion Week: 1st Garment

Hello hello my lovelies, as promised your first sneak peek at the 1st dress for fashion week!
Now... I have not slept much this week so I do apologize for any grammatical or spelling (i.e. sleep deprived) errors that I make. Bear with me!

I will probably go into this in more detail at a later date, but this dress was one of the most difficult things I have ever made!! And we had to make it in 3 days, and took 1 entire day to sew because the organizers decided to randomly have a photo shoot and spring it on us Monday morning... With the help of my trusted friend and partner in crime, Joella, we managed to whip this together on such short notice. (Note to self or others: Chiffon ruffles are a PAIN and SUPER TIME CONSUMING. But...oh so cute. >.<)

Hope you love it my dears! The rest I'm keeping a secret so come to the big runway show October 14th! ; )
