My Sunday look - The Bodycon

Hello dearies, today's post is following in theme of days of the week; here's my Sunday look. It's a midi textured jersey bodycon dress in nude. It's got a draped back that turns this simple dress into a glamorous one. 

A bodycon dress fits like a second skin; it's meant to hold the body together avoiding jiggly bits. In order to achieve this completely you need the right kind of underwear; Spanx® are a good way to go.  Be cautious when buying these underwear as they are not meant to be tight to the point of being uncomfortable. Bodycon dresses are usually mini, knee length or midi lengths although a few flow all the way to the floor. Whatever you wear with the bodycon, make sure it doesn't overshadow the dress and draw attention away from your curves. Bodycon dresses are suitable for anytime of the day, just ensure you match with appropriate accessories for that time of the day and the event. They can be paired with stilettos, ballet flats and even boots.

P.S: Show off your curves but keep it classy!

My dress has been accesorised with a neon pink hatinator, black shoes and a black clutch with multicolored gem stone. A pop of colour always brings a glam factor to neutral hues and that's what the hatinator achieves in this outfit.

 















I made this same dress for a client which she wore for her marriage at the registry. This version is red and made from a lace fabric. Like I mentioned earlier the right accessories make a bodycon dress fit for any occasion.

Drape It On

Hello lovely people! Hope you are having an amazing week thus far.

I made this dress with no intentions of it being sexy (lol). Actually, I had no plans of making a red carpet-y piece considering the fact that it's a jersey print I didn't particularly like (dunno why).

When my assistant bought this fabric instead of the print I requested, I just thought I'd make a simple dress to wear around the house. I later decided to make a beach wear from it. It's two yards of fabric so I was going to cut out the little I needed for the beach wear.  Instead, I found myself standing in front of the mirror in my workshop and I practically JUST draped the fabric around me as a mono strap dress, tied the knot on one shoulder, pinned it up one side and sewed it into my shape following my curves, yes MY CURVES :D. I was going to include a belt but changed my mind about that.













I wore the dress to the 'Eko For Show' flamboyance collection launch by House of Jasmine sponsored by Vlisco. By the way, the promptness of the show, Olamide's performance and Lolo's superb delivery as host made the night awesome!
