I called this my "birthday dress" because I plan on wearing it for my birthday. I often make dresses for certain occasions. Although I doubt I'll wear this on my birthday. I'll be moving to Santa Cruz on August 23rd, and I'm supposed to come home for my birthday. I doubt I'll be doing anything extravagant at home. My mom asked me where I wanted to go, and I said Red Lobster. I've been going there for my birthday since I was a kid, and I liked it because they had seafood. I really like fish and especially shrimp! I like shrimp so much, that I had this idea for "food fashion" where I designed clothes inspired by food, I had to make a shrimp one! Click here to see my sketch. Anyway, I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing this dress (the one pictured above) at Red Lobster. I just might drop a popcorn shrimp on top!
Anyway, let me explain the construction of this dress. This one is entirely sewn by hand, no sewing machine touched any part of this dress. The shell of this dress is made of knit fabric with a small pink floral pattern. I usually don't like lace, but I found this really nice, possibly vintage lace, in my mother's closet. There was so much of it that I wanted to cover a dress with it. So that's what I did!
