Znam da me dugo nije bilo i da mesecima nisam postavljala fotografije novih kreacija, što ne znači da nisam šila. Čak naprotiv, imam dosta novih stvari da vam pokažem, ali me realnost sprečila da se temeljno posvetim blogu. Za ovih par meseci mi se mnogo zanimljivih stvari izdešavalo, što lepih, što ružnih.
Na žalost, morala sam da odustanem od kursa u školi SITAM zbog privatnih problema koje sam imala, a o kojima ne bih ovde duskutovala.
I, umesto da odem na polaganje ispita u Italiju, ja sam otišla na more da dečkom, gde sam se fenomenalno provela i usput verila :-). Povratak s mora je doneo još par ozbiljnih pitanja i odluka, čiji rezultat je novi stan koji sam kupila pre neki dan. Time se okončala moja dugogodišnja agonija potrage za stanom. Sada slede slatke muke: opremanje životnog prostora i priprema za venčanje. No, o tome ću pisati u narednim danima, a sada bih se vratila na glavnu temu, tj. na haljinu koju sam skoro napravila.
I know I've been away for a long time and that I haven't posted any new projects recently, but it doesn't mean I haven't been sewing. Actually, I have a lot of new garments to show you, but life has prevented me from blogging regularly. A lot of interesting things happened to me during the past few months, some of them were nice the others were not so nice.
Unfortunately, I had to drop off the SITAM course due to some personal problems, which I won't discuss here.
So, instead of going to Italy for the final exam, I went to the sea with my boyfriend, where I had a great time and got engaged :-). Returning from the sea brought some new questions and decisions which resulted with me buying a flat. It also ended a four-year search for a flat. Now I'm facing some rather sweet problems: interior decoration and wedding preparations. However, I'll write about these things in the following days, and now I'd like to return to the main topic, which is a dress I've made recently.
Inspiraciju za ovu haljinu sam našla na nekoliko različitih mesta (nemojte mi zameriti, ne mogu da se setim odakle sam skinula slike, pošto nemam naviku da brinem o tome - ako znate sa kog sajta su slike i ko su dizajneri ovih haljina, javite mi i ja ću postaviti i te informacije). Zahvaljujući svojim dragim čitaocima, saznala sam da su gornje dve haljine dizajn Kejt Spejd (Kate Spade). Htela sam da napravim haljinu na kopčanje sa malo drugačijim izgledom, pa sam se poigrala sa krojem i sa prugama.
An inspiration for this dress came from several different places (unfortunately, I can't remember where I downloaded these pictures from - if you know the website these were taken from, or you know a name of the designer, please let me know to edit the information). Thanks to my lovely readers, I found out the top two dresses were Kate Spade's design. I wanted to make a bit different shirt dress, so I played with the pattern and with stripes.
Skica ispod je originalna verzija koju sam htela da napravim.
Bellow is a sketch of the original idea I had for the dress.
Međutim, haljina je ispala malo drugačija... Naravno, kroj sam sama pravila. Materijal je prelep prugasti puplin koji sam pazarila prošle godine. Haljina je postavljena belim tananim pamukom, zbog transparencije puplina.
However, the dress turned a bit different... I made the pattern myself. The fabric is a gorgeous striped shirt cotton that I bought last year. The dress is fully lined with a thin white cotton, since the shell fabric was rather transparent.
Kao i obično, veoma sam vodila računa o uklapanju pruga na šavovima.
As per usual, I tried to match all the stripes along the seams.
Haljina ima po dve falte na prednjem i zadnjem delu suknje.
The dress has two knife pleats on both front and back sides of the skirt.
Kada je trebalo da prišijem dugmiće, našla sam se u problemu - nisam mogla da se odlučim koju boju da odaberem, jer se svaka uklapala. Na kraju sam rešila da iskoristim sve boje :-).
When I was about to sew in the buttons, I faced a problem - I couldn't decide which color to pick, since all the colors matched well with the fabric. At the end, I chose to use buttons in all the colors I had :-).
