Lolita level- Advanced
Sewing level- Pro
I just finished up a new OP for myself! Funny enough this is the most casual lolita thing I have made. Usually I go OTT, but... I wanted to try and make more 'normal' things for a change. I struggle to find OPs to fit (big boob alert) so I decided to go in this lane.
For the design, I really wanted to make something inspired off of my favorite otome game character (Jumin Han, from Mystic Messenger.) As well as making something that fits my classic style.
Pattern is self drafted, to my own body measurements. The dress is made of a airy silk twill from Mood Fabrics, and the white contrast is a heavy silk twill from Renaissance fabrics. I added elastic in the back waist for size flexibility too!
Things I would have done different... The collar is not 100% perfect. I burned the tip a bit and I am considering remaking it incase I want to take the Jumin Han pin off.
I would also gather the back yoke lace and cuff lace if I was to make the pattern again.
But overall it is really comfortable and soft... (I mean you can't beat silk for soft.) I am planning on wearing this to casual meets in the future as well as for work.
