Hello Yellow

I intended to make a simple yellow dress with a distinct neckline. Other than the neckline, the dress looked too simple even with a gold chain belt. Not that it's bad but I wanted to complicate it a bit more. One thing I like about simple dresses is that one can adorn it and make it look slightly different (whereas it's a risky idea to take apart a complicated dress).

This yellow dress, I thought, is not something you'd like to wear with a necklace as it distracts from the detailed neckline although I think it's a good dress to show off the belt. I was suppose to take a picture of this dress along with different belts including the narrow blue belt that came with the Barbie Basics fashion pack but I think I misplaced mine. I was even thinking of making an obi belt but I wanted to post this entry right away. I did make a belt from the same yellow fabric with a peplum detail that makes it look like it's part of the dress. It doesn't look too simple anymore.

The next color will be red. I initially wanted to make it an overtly sexy dress with a deep V-neckline but then I thought it would be more challenging to make a sexy red dress and have the torso completely covered. We'll see...

The Secondaries

For the longest time, I've been planning to make gowns representing the colors of the rainbow but then I realized I'm not so much of a gown person. Then I planned to make Filipiniana dresses still representing the colors or the rainbow. I got stuck at violet since I wanted it to be more complicated but it was more than I could handle. Plus, they are still gowns.

There was also a time when I wanted to make dresses of different colors for Superstar/Shani bodies. I didn't even have that large variety of dolls with that body back then. Who would wear them?

Ladies' Drink

Now I'm here again planning to do that Rainbow Collection, this time on model muse dolls. Since I don't have that much time these days, my mom helps a lot. She did most of the work for these 3 new dresses. I only did most of the finishing touches.

So far I only have the secondary colors of orange, green and violet and I like how they turned out so far. The green dress will be repaired since I find the skirt too revealing.

The next color should be yellow. The challenge is to do it right the first time since I don't have that much yellow fabric. the design can't be too complicated either but it can't be too plain. You know that feeling when a lot of things can go wrong and you just want to stop? That's what I feel about yellow now.
