Fashionista !

Soooo.... I decided to make my halloween costume this year. I had a couple designs in mind so I chose between those. It wasn't anything in particular but CUTE.. lol

 1) My inspiration for the one piece was the Cotton Spandex Micro-Mesh Gloria V Bodysuit from
 American Apparel.
2) Below is the design I chose from my collection.
                                        
3) I used fabric my grandmother had left over from her experiences with sewing. It is peach colored spandex. I did not follow a pattern this time. I just did the best I could....

Fashion Tips from Norma Jean: If you know anything about sewing... I sewed this on the wrong grain so it did not stretch the way it was suppose to but no one could notice. It was just super tight! 
 4) The middle section of the front bodice was some shear fabric my grandmother had also.
5) This is the garment almost complete. I did not add shoulder pads like my original design. They didn't look right when I added them. 
                                            

HERE'S MY HALLOWEEN COSTUME !!! After it was all finished....

   On November 30, Norma Jean and Femme took a trip to Charlotte, NC to support their friends in their event, NusicFest . There were live performances by Carson   (a rockband) and BSE (a rapping group), who are both from Charlotte. There were also clothing lines present with vendor booths to promote their lines such as Baked Goods Apparel , HotDogWater , and Materialistic Morphine . The event took place in McKnight Hall on UNCC campus and the doors opened at 6:30 PM. There were a lot of new faces and Norma Jean was even able to promote herself as a stylist and artist. We definitely enjoyed the event!  Below: This the rockand Carson.
