A frilly blouse, an outfit completed

 Just finished this blouse. I'm very pleased with how it turned out. Especially the collar! I think I need to make a bolero with a collar like that now.
This is a polyester satin with a suede like back. The different texture works well in the bow, especially if your like me and have a hard time tying bows so the right sides are out!


A more detailed shot of the sheer striped ruffles and the taffeta underskirt from the under bust JSK with scalloped over skirt, I posted last.
Please ignore the cat fur, this fabric attracts it like nothing else.

Under bust JSK with scalloped overskirt

Another piece for the Stars of the Unicorn collection.  This one is very different in comparison to the lilac taffeta skirt I showed before. The blouse and accessories for this under bust JSK are in purples, so it'll balance out. 
The collection mixes a lot of different fabrics, as well as lighter purples with black. Once I get some full coordinate photo's up I think the concept will be a lot clearer.

The JSK is done in a slightly stretchy cotton sateen, with striped sheer ruffles. The attached underskirt is done in a textured taffeta. The different fabric textures aren't very obvious in this photo, due to the flash. This style of JSK tends to look awkward on a dress form, especially without a blouse.

Theres a detachable taffeta bow with star (it'll be made out of foam so not as flimsy as pictured) as well. I think I'm going to do a head bow with a star (or several) like this as well, but probably mix in the mauve satin from the blouse as well.
