AinQisqisCloset: FLIRTY PINK DO IT MYSELF MIDI PLEATED SKIRT

Its crazy when i wasn't in front of the PC there a lots more idea and plan and point i would like to talk and writing about. and when it comes the times the always been..... pfffftttttt... What i am planning to write and to talk and i tot i have some idea about what write today. and just in sudden its all gone. Damn it. This what i hate. LOL

Btw on this entry i am going to give close up about my DIY item which i sewed and design myself for Antwerp Fashion Days last month. It comes with plenty of pictures since i have my photo shoot on this DIY skirt during my birthday.

Lots of times when i am doing my shopping i never plan myself to waste my money for buying any much clothing especially skirt because in my eyes skirt is one the most easiest thing to sew. As well i thought would be great idea if i am not buying any much because i don't want to wear the same pattern, and style that other girls and women wear. This is how the idea comes to me. And for me sometimes being fashionista is not because the label or the brand you are carrying and wearing or buying. But it always more than that.. this is why too i choose to sew because its limited! Nobody can have the exact same stuff as me!

As i notice this year, Midi skirt is making a comeback and it become one of the hottest trend in fashion line. many kind of style and in many type of material I've seen. From cotton, jersey, even the hardest lace nowadays it can turn into this midi skirt. Big shopping store name like Zara, Topshop, ASOS and etc are fully loaded for selling this item. Midi/pleated skirt is used to be famous during 70's and 80's. Person who usually wore this can be categorize as classy and chic and feminine because most of the time the cutting is not above the knee. And the pattern are usually not to tight and not to exposed with the body figure and little

Thus, i took this opportunity of trying to make one for myself. As u can see later few some of my picture close shot how i made it, and what I've been pair with it. The material is made from cotton and it only 6€ per meter. I usually bought all the material i need from this shop name Du Chien a Vert in Brussels. Plenty of choices and whenever i am there i always turn into a crazy women because i don't know what to choose and to buy! LOL. As well the shop assistant there they can hardly speak English, but it highly recommended because they offer the best quality in term of the fabric comparing the rest of other near by shop.

There is some tips and ideas i would like to share for those who interested of having/buying/sewing midi pleated skirt. This comes through my eyes and thought about do or don't :

- The smaller the pleated it gives the illusion that u are skinnier then the real figure. Actually midi skirt its perfect for skinny small size girl.

- Medium size/ Big size girl there always chance to have it. As long u choose the rite style, design and material.

- When u choose or buying make sure the size of the waist length are fit on your waist just nice. This gives the illusion that u don't have fat on your waist. weather if u just having your lunch meal its little tight is ok because the food is still 'stucking' on your belly in little moment! Haha! But i am serious. Please take note.

- For skinny people good to have the big pleated as it makes your figure little bit more curvy. and it apposite goes to the big size people. Never choose big flower prints on your skirt because it will it gives the illusion u have bigger hump (Big size person).

- U can always pair them with simple shirt/blouse/tshirt, -printed skirt for plain shirt. tank in or not depends on the style of the and the length u have on your shirt.

- if u wanna be feminine always pair them with wedges, pump and heel. U can never go wrong with it if u want to look little bit more outgoing and stylish u can always pair them with a sport shoe, sneakers, platformshoes this becoming a big trend as it seen in runway fashion week in Paris, London, Milan, NY and etc!

Ok guys i have enough of sharing my tips! enjoy the look of my DIY item and stay tune for more update and entry! xx
