Guest Post: Stylish Dresses
Images by THE WORK ROOM
Hi everyone! My name is Amy from the illustration blog Pikaland and I'm going to fill in for Ez for a post or two while she settles into her new home in Oklahoma.
I love pretty things -- which I have to point out, isn't just all about illustrations! I'm a girly girl at heart, and though my hands are better at drawing, I wish I could master sewing so that I can make these pretty dresses from the book "Stylish Dress Book 3." Japanese patterns for dresses tend to be a little too oversized for my tastes, with some of the patterns looking more like loose and shapeless (albeit stylish) overalls than dresses befitting lovely ladies, so I was happy to see that some of the patterns in the book are fresh and well-fitted.
