Amantra Revamps Her Powder-Room

1/9/14

So I  began planning to re-decorate the bathroom for my apartment at which I resign, around Novemeber/ December of 2013. Here's an illustration, prototype of what I envisioned the bathroom to look like before beginning this "ASSIGNMENT" :

 I got the idea about splitting the shower curtain from the way my boyfriend's mom bathroom decor is  presented. One day while  we were going over to her home for a visit, during the time I started to take applied arts seriously. I noticed in her bathroom, her shower curtains were opened and parted, and I though It that was such an awesome idea to replicate.  At the last minuet I decided to add the black organza material (NOT PICTURED ABOVE) o cover the transparent part.

The color scheme for the overall bathroom is baby blue and black.

 

I embellished the Dixie cup holder first, a week before Christmas of last year. I used Baby blue soft woven fabric-ribbon, then I  overlapped it with the black lace to give the entire piece an expensive appeal.

Before I began my project I was grateful to use my new pattern cutting cardboard that I recently acquired. I love it so much because I can now make PRECISER cutting with the cool measurements guide on top.

 

 For the shower curtain I wanted to do something glamorous and gorgeous, so I decided to embellish the baby-blue shower curtains I purchased from the dollar store. The supplies used were:
⦁    4 1/2 yards of Black Organza fabric
⦁    3 yards of black lace
⦁    1 spool of 100% black polyester thread
⦁    1 spool of 100%  Baby-Blue polyester thread

 

I then took some  photos of the conceptual process:

So let's take a look at the whole appearance of the bathroom

you can see I decorated the three glass  vases (that I purchased from V.O.A for 90 cent each) on the counter top with black curling ribbon, glamorous $3-4 buttons from Joanne's Fabrics, and hot glued into place. Then for the flower arrangement part you see white, red, pink, baby-blue, blue-violet, black flowers. I put the spray painted black flowers towards the back, and threw in  glittery blue accents in each.  I  filled the vase  with clear oval marbles, and it turned out wonderfully.

Here are pictures of the my final result, Thanks for viewing!!

My Lingerie dress: Magenta Nights

1/6/13

                            My  first lingerie style dress outfit of 2014, I call  Magenta Nights

I worked on this project for about 7 days, it was a lot of hard work, dedication and passion, as with anything in life requires, but I'm so proud. It's a lingerie dress and matching collar choker.

I worked with this pattern and then halfway through, I changed my mind about the bottom part and decided to try a pleated skirt dress, because it would be more flattering to my figure (with my wide hips, thighs, stomach). This was my rendition of something Kim Kardashian has worn, she's a fan of pleated, flare out skirts/ dresses.

 

you guys get to come with me on my couture journey, and watch me learn through trial & error, gaining practice,  perfecting my skills.

I used tulle fabric for the top portion, and this pink soft stretchy flower printed fabric. You know I just love my pinks!
 It feels almost silky, and it glided so smoothly through my sewing machine, I couldn't help but fall head over heels for it during the sewing process!
At the last minuet I made a neck choker out of crochet that I hand beaded pink pearl-like beads onto it.
Then I decided to go BOB MACKIE on the top portion with hand embellished beading to cover up my aurora's,
 so.... I can rock this with or without a bra, (my favorite part of the ensemble)
 I hope you guys enjoy and please check out my YouTube channel for the  video vlog on this post, so you can get a video visual of this project, and watch me twerk in my dress.

thanks for reading
