Drip Drop

Drip drop, I do my dance like
Drip drop, drip drippity drop
Drip drop, drip drippity drop

- from Drip Drop Lyrics (Empire)

The drip detail on the shift blouse was carried over from the previous dress. I used a different yoke shape and coupled it with pants. I used fairy boots for an added quirk.We'll be seeing more variations of this in the coming entries.

Continuous Learning

I don't claim to be an expert on fashion, styling and dress making.  I try to study them whenever I can, and apply what I learn in the doll clothes that I make.

I find it silly that I can't even describe my work because I'm not aware of the jargon. Aside from English not being my mother tongue, my background in world of fashion is non-existent.

In addition to exposing myself more to the world of fashion, I have decided to use my blog to take down notes. I have added a page to store my notes. I will update this page as I learn more.

Although I'm exposing myself more to fashion, I'm selective with what I'm exposing myself to. I let my sense of style limit me. Although my style is still evolving, I generally have a sense of what I like and what I find off-putting.

It's not what's popular that's going to make me excited. It's not what other people will say. Style is my conscience that will guide me in this new world I'm exploring.

D' Drip

The blouse have a drip detail on the hem. I got the idea from Phillip Lim's pre-spring/summer 2015 collection.
