Hello everyone! This post is a bit longer, mostly because I've done a lot more of these dresses than I thought.
First, we start with a simple Bee-costume, based on a G2 play-set I saw somewhere and couldn't find anywhere else.
The next dress begins one of my favorite things to craft - dresses by Askblogs! This one is from
banana-dreams.tumblr.com
Now, this dress was a lot more tricky. It was both my first attempt at using organza(?) to make the transparent part and my first attempt at making ruffles, and it shows big time
These are a bit older, but the same dress
This dress right here is a lot simpler, with less details and things I could have screwed up, but its also my least favorite of all of them. I don't know, it just seems off to me.
And last, but not least, one of my favorite dresses to work on. In theory (
it) looks really difficultly, but once I started to work on it, I realized how easy it really is.
And were done! At least for now. I got a lot more planned and I'm gonna update this post accordingly. Tomorrow I'm gonna show off my own creations, which means we finally get to the G2 and G3 dresses!
So stay tunes, tell me how much you hate/love these dresses, and have a wonderful day!
P.S.: I'm always happy to take requests (from the show, fan art, something from another generation, based on an idea/concept), mostly because I''m kind of running out of ideas^^
[Topics merged 25 Jan -- Griffin]Update 1:Royal Armor:
And the crystal pun armor (a very long story)
Update 2:Thanks all of you.
Yeah, for someone who sews as much as I do I'm really quite bad at it (which is why I'm using felt. So much easier)
And a patch of new dresses to look at!
First, an exercise in embroidery and techniques:
Witness the first time tulle/organza/whatever actually did what I wanted!
Now, my new Nightmare Moon in my new fabric. (Wants fabric samples - gets 2 meters of fabric. Story of my life)
And last - an exercise in pants and scarfs:
Update 3:So, finally, we have reached my own creations. Now, most of them came from experimentation with different materials, techniques and ideas. And, there a quite a lot (17?) of them. I skipped the commentary in this one on some dresses.
G2 (Berry Bright):
First outfit for a G2 pony - a saddle with ruffles, which I hated at this point in time.
G3 (Amberlocks and Fizzy Pop):
First dress for G3 ponies, with felt:
Second dress, used to be a cushion cover ^^
G4:
Feather May, in a blue dress, that would propably fit Lily Blossom better...
First time using organza for anything:
My second favorite of all the dresses, this steam-punk inspired purple purple dress looks just fabulous on Rarity.
Photo Finish in a dress I made after discovering some new embroidery techniques.
First attempt at layering for a skirt! I love Sunset Shimmer, she is probably my favorite show character.
A nice pair of socks for the Queen of Socks Minty!
First time making a dress for pegasi:
Now, the next three dresses are what I call "The time I went crazy after discovering how ruffles work"
And last, but not least, my favorite skirt on my favorite pony, Dewdrop Dazzle!
Update 4: Thanks all of you so much!
Here are some of the 'ruffles' on other generations, mostly to test out how different skirts look on different gens:
Silver:
Stars:
Hearts:
Update 4.1:Just a short update, but there will be new posts with the Valentines Day dresses, and an extra post for crowns/jewelery today.
