So Young But So Cold

This dress is one of my favorites... It's sheer black mesh, with rows of navy and black fringe in V- and inverted V-shapes, back and front. (Side note: Please pardon the picture quality/cheesiness. I am neither a model nor a photographer; I make clothes.)



Love To Love You

It's been awhile since I've updated... in the months since, I've moved to a fabulously tiny apartment in the Lower East Side with my best friend, scored jobs, quit them for better ones, and made a few friends... and dresses.




This one is the aptly-named Heart Dress. It's sheer nude mesh with red cotton-shirting hearts covering girly parts. I made it the day Lady Gaga was scheduled to perform at Job #1, which is at a nightclub a few blocks from my apartment. I figured since she was going to be wearing something insane, I might as well be, too. This was my first foray into color in a long time.

Boys Are Boys And Girls Are Choice




Two-piece zipper dress with grey fringe hanging off the top half. Silver exposed zipper. When I finished making it, my roommate A mused that girls are lucky because they can put some fabric "here and here" and be done with it. He makes menswear, hence the slight envy.

Disco Rough





First full New York dress (half of Dee Dee's fest 'fit was completed in California). My sewing machines and fabric arrived on Tuesday, and on Friday I began crafting this bad boy. I used nude tulle to create a bodice and long sleeves, and sewed the sequined fabric to it with a sweetheart neckline. Exposed zipper up the back overlapping a few inches onto the tulle. Wore it to work last night and got lots of compliments (it was gay night).

Been super into sheer forms with embellishments making up the dress part, lately. Ideas abound for some rad, dark shit. The Dum Dum Girls line up is complete, can't wait for the ladies to come by for costume fittings... Congrats to Dee Dee for the Sub Pop deal. That's my girl!!!
