<<”The paper-bag waist: Refreshingly loose, remarkably chic, this pleated pant looks right amongst falls layered, loose looks. When paired with a fitted top, it has a Katherine Hepburn-like quality to it, cinching in the waist with remarkable success. For narrow figures, it adds needed volume, while also giving fuller figures just enough leeway to keep .... read more
I just joined the ThreadBanger Forum after a moderator posted a link to all my DIY projects (cool, no?). And I like showing the things I sew to people who love to do the same thing. Anyway, I told you before not to be afraid of the high waisted skirt [link]: so, here is a .... read more

Originally, jodhpurs (as worn in and around the city in India after which they are named) were tight-fitting only from the knee to the ankle and were flared above the knee; modern .... read more
The Grey, over at Six O’Clock Style, just made a wonderful dress for herself (from her mom’s old fabric), after being inspired by the long, color-block dress that was “oh, so hot” this summer. DKNY, Zara, Mango, Asos, Topshop, and many more had their take on this trend [click here for images]. So, how could .... read more

A printed, longer, tube dress with a red scarf tied at the bust area to make the dress more versatile: you can wear it tied .... read more
What else to do with a men’s tie than integrate it into a dress? Sure you can wear it over a dress, but everybody does that. However, how many of your girlfriend’s own a “tie dress”? I got the tie from a vintage store with 50Bani, that is the half of 1 [Romanian] Leu. You .... read more
In all the major cities, girls wear their skirts where grandma loves to see them: at the waist! And they wear them quite well, might I add. Credits: TheSartorialist, TheFaceHunter, Moderniteter. However, in Romania, girls don’t quite accept the high waist. I remember when choosing clothes for Roxana’s Polaroid shots, she rolled her eyes when .... read more
These photos were taken by mistake without a flash, because the shitty camera’s batteries ran out. (I’ll get my good camera in about 2weeks, paying a fortune on the repairs, but what can one do?). However, I feel a “Mexican hotel in the midst of summer” vibe which I absolutely love about them. Maybe it’s .... read more
I am home again, that means the sewing machine is my best friend. I really missed making clothes, I have lots of ideas and can’t wait to do everything I’m thinking of!!! I put so much energy and time into these sewing projects, but I don’t regret it, I’m having so much fun while doing .... read more
