Chiffon Dress

Have I told you that I got addicted to dress with chiffon or georgette fabric recently? I'm just oh-so-in-love with the minidresses! super lovely, and I like the semi formal vibe it gives <3
Chiffon is from the french word for a cloth or rag, is a lightweight, balanced plain woven, sheer fabric woven of alternate S- and Z-twist crepe (high-twist) yarns. The twist in the crepe yarns puckers the fabric slightly in both directions after weaving, giving it some stretch and a slightly rough feel.



During summer holiday, I plan to make my own chiffon dress, I got the pattern from my fashion college friend and I'm gonna show you the dress once I finished it =) I ended up tweaking some parts of it, the sleeves! when it comes to babydoll style, I've always put on a cardigon bcuz I'm so damn skinny, as skinny as twig and it makes me feel uncomfortable >.<
