The Domino Dollhouse Bones Dress!

If you're a fan of Domino Dollhouse, an amazing plus size shop that offers unique and totally cool clothing, then you most likely know about this dress:

Yup, the popular "Bones Skater Dress" that sold out super quick. I missed it the first time around, and almost the second time around, as well. By the time I realized it had been restocked, they only had 4X's left, and I needed either a 2 or a 3. I can sew, though, and I knew I could take it in, so I quickly ordered it.

I really, really love this dress! It's a beautiful color and a unique design. I was asked three times if I made it myself, which I take it to mean that plus size ladies know that awesome things like this are not easy to find in our size. 

I did have to take it in on top about 2 inches on each side, but it was super easy and quick. Anyway, onto the photos!

I paired it with a black and white striped cardigan and some black tights because it's finally starting to get a little chilly around here (if you consider 65 degrees chilly, haha). 

I decided to wear my skeleton hand sweater clips (available in my Etsy shop!) They look super cool with this dress!

I love the full skirt! It's a very comfortable, flattering dress and I am so glad I didn't miss out on it! Thank you, Domino Dollhouse, for offering such neat clothes!

It's been a while - Outfit Mega Post!

It's been a while since I've blogged and I feel really cruddy about it. I always keep my Tumblr up to date, but for some reason, I haven't been posting much here, lately. So, I figured I'd post some of my outfits from the past few weeks all in one blog post! Yay! Here we go!

This was my birthday outfit! I made the skirt out of some super fun "Happy Birthday" fabric. I got that vest at Old Navy on clearance. The necklace was a birthday gift from my boyfriend a few years ago. =)

This is my lovely Betty Le Bonbon circle skirt! It's perfect! I wore it with some saddle shoes I got on Ebay (and my denim vest...haha).

I made this skirt out of some lovely crafty fabric. Again, another denim vest (this time from Ross!) and a pink tee from Wal-Mart.

I wore this outfit to Bark at the Park! Betty and Lucy had a blast! To show my love for Bulldogs, I bought this Bulldog fabric from Spoonflower.com! I also DIY'ed another denim vest (yes, I'm obsessed with them, as you can clearly see, haha) from Ross. I also wore my Bulldog brooch I got on Etsy. 

Me, in jeans?! Yup. It's been a while. I got these jeans at Kohl's (Elle brand) for $15! The floral top is from Forever 21.

I made this skirt from some cutesy bird fabric. I loved the colors! (You can buy one in my Etsy!) Black top and the red cardigan are from Ross.

Halloween is my FAVORITE Holiday! I bought this cute Halloween fabric at Joann's. I paired it with a black tee and cardigan, and wore a sweater clip that I made using cute lips cabochons! (You can buy sweater clips in my Etsy, too!)

And finally, another outfit featuring my Bulldog skirt! I wore it with a blue striped tee from Wal-Mart, cardigan from Ross, and a necklace I made using a vintage Virginia Slims keychain. I don't smoke, but something about the quote on the charm grabbed me. I purchased it at our local flea market! 

I'll try to keep this blog a little more up to date from now on. =)

Yup.... I'm wearing another skirt that I made =P

I know, I know. I can't stop making them, though! I love being able to choose from a huge variety of fabrics! I have so many more outfit options, now. And knowing I'm wearing something I made.... it makes me feel really proud of myself, as dorky as that sounds.

I made this skirt out of a really cute, polka-dot denim I found. I've worn my store-bought denim skirt so many times that I figured I needed a second one! I love that the polka-dots give it a little something special, so it's not just a plain ol' denim skirt. =]

I love this shirt so much! I couldn't pass it up because the print was just too adorable. (Ignore that I forgot to button one of the buttons... my OCD noticed it right away when I looked at the photos!) I also wore apple earrings, which you can't really see, but they're super cute!

And of course, my favorite red belt! (Darn that button!)

Oh, and I got a hair cut! =)

Out of this world!

You guys.... this fabric is freakin' amazing. When I spotted it in the fabric store I knew it would make a fantastic skirt.... and boy, was I right! Check this baby out!

Isn't it super?! I just love it!

Not the best photo.... but did you notice that I colored my hair? =) I bleached it on my own last week and then dyed it red. It turned out much better than I was expecting!

Kitty Cat Skirt..... #2!

You wouldn't know that I'm a dog person since I can't stop making skirts with cats on 'em!

I found this lovely fabric months ago on the clearance rack at Joann's. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be for Valentine's Day, but whatever. I'll wear it in September if I want! 

Ah, how I love sweater clips. =)

Skirt - Made by me (of course!)

Also, in case I've never mentioned it before, my glasses are from Coastal.com! They have a wonderful selection of glasses, and your first pair is free! =)

Kitty Cat Skirt

So, of course I HAD to make a skirt out of this great cat fabric I found last week. I decided to do a simple skirt instead of a circle skirt - so it only took me about 1 1/2 hours to make! Not bad, right? And it's super comfortable!

To pick up on the pink in the skirt, I paired it with a hot pink belt (and some pink lipstick! - Enchantress by Covergirl).

I wore an earrings & necklace set I made out of some cute brass charms and a brooch I got from a vintage shop in the next town over. 

I decided to go simple with the shoes since I had so much going on everywhere else. =)

Outfit details:

Skirt - Made by me (I have one for sale up on Etsy in a size 1X-2Xish!)

Ruffle top, green cardigan, pink belt, and shoes - Ross (I clearly love that store!)

Earrings & Necklace - Made by me

Brooch - Vintage shop in Lancaster, CA

I'm a skirt-making addict!

Ever since my last post about the red & white circle skirt I made, I've been making skirts like crazy! I've found some pretty interested fabrics and have been experimenting with different patterns. 

I made another circle skirt out of this amazing "Movie Night" fabric I found on sale at Joann's! I can't wait to wear it on a movie date with Dan. ;-) It has little popcorn buckets, peppermints, and gummy candies printed all over it!

I'm so proud of it! I hemmed it with bias tape (after trying several other unsuccessful ways!) and it looks so professional! =)

I also found this really cute owl fabric and made a simple skirt out of it. These are the only photos I have of it for now.... I promise to model it soon!

Lastly, I have this super cute horse skirt that I decided to list on Etsy!  I loved this horse fabric and thought it would make a darling skirt. How awesome does it look with these boots I got from Rocket Dog?! The awesome horse shirt is from Torrid and the belt is from Ross. =)

I'm pretty certain that I'll be making lots more skirts. I already bought some great Birthday fabric to make a circle skirt out of to wear on my birthday on the 25th! I'm nuts! =)
