/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Lolita: novice
Sewing: intermediate

I finished my first jsk and matching headdress! It’s my first time sewing a complete garment after I dropped out of fashion design at school But I’m really happy with how this came out!

I drafted my own bodice pattern from my AP/Baby high waist jsks. Shirring panel in back (pic will be in comments) The skirt is 3 rectangle layers of organza, chiffon, and poly lining. The chiffon ends right where the lining hem lace begins like my AP dresses. The organza ended up shorter than I wanted, I’ll pay more attention to layer lengths in the future.

Lessons learned: Have varying seam allowances to reduce bulk, organza is a headache to cut/sew with, french seam would’ve saved so much time, don’t try to sew a jsk in 2 days!

I made a few mistakes here and there, but this is good enough for my rusty sewing skills! Any concrit appreciated
