Happy Friday, everyone.
Today I wanted to share an illustration of a dress design I came up with. I can’t sew to save my life, but that’s never stopped me from designing dresses and other items like this here snow leopard, 1950s-inspired piece. Essentially stuff I’d like to wear but can’t find, and that I also think would look cool on just about any other woman as long as she pairs it with the right attitude.
I recently shared another dress design on this blog, which, like this one, was vintage-inspired and for girls who aren’t afraid to unleash their glamorous side. Fortunately for me, the feedback was really encouraging, both from readers and others I know. So much so that I decided I want to take my design doodling a step further and actually see what I can do about getting a few things manufactured and sold.
I still have plenty of research to do before I can get started, but I’m still pretty excited about the idea.
And, well, that’s all the news for today, folks. At some point later I’ll be along to visit my fellow artists’ blogs in the Paint Party Friday group as well as my favorite fashion blogs.
i like this look!<3
I love the dress design, so classic and timeless. And great with red lipstick and shoes!! 🙂
I recently stumbled across your blog and I LOVE it! I love the layout to the content and everything in between! Your style is just impeccable and your blog is simply the epitome of perfection! I am your newest, most avid follower, I look forward to reading your future posts. I would love it if you could perhaps follow me back too? Have a lovely day!
Love from, MISSIFFA
Love the dress it looks really summery and light
i love the style and attitude you bring to your vintage inspired pieces. so glamorous!
i also really liked your colorful sneaks from your last post! 🙂
Lovely, lovely dress! And love her high bun. What a great illustration, let alone a great outfit!!
Sabina, Congrats on your previous design! It is not surprise to me that your talent was noticed. I hope you can have that dress sold and make lots of money:-) . As to the leopard dress, I really like how you said that it needs to paired with the right attitude, because the dress like this one makes a lot of statement. I would love to own this leopard dress.
hugs from New York,

beautiful dress design, I love the shoe colour too, it complements the outfit so nicely. And I don’t supposed dress designers have to be able to sew do they?
I can’t sew either, but that shouldn’t stop us! We just get someone else to do all the fiddly bits 😉
I really love this style of dress too. When I was in my thirties (and a size 6) I was always looking for this type of dress but could never find them. Now that the 50’s styles are back I’m old an much bigger, real bummer. I hope you manage to have some of your designs manufactured as they are all gorgeous and I’m sure they would sell. Had a peak at your sneakers in the previous post, love them too.

Sabina, I’m always amazed at how easily you are inspired by fashions of the past and then do your little tricks to make them 21st Century smart!
absolutely beautiful dress – am definitely a fan of leopard print! I hear ya on sewing – tried it the other day and almost lost a finger to the needle! LOL sewing IS hard best of luck getting your dresses produced! You so should
You keep illustrating my mother’s wardrobe from the 1950’s when I grew up! 😉 It’s so fun for me and brings back many memories. You do it so well.
I hope you do get them made… great stylish dresses are timeless and I think you capture that perfectly…xx
I love the dress. Your fabric choice is perfect. I’m also really loving those floral sneekers!! Happy PPF
Beautiful dress design, am sure you will soon have a wonderful portfolio of your designs and will be successful. Happy PPF, Annette x
Fabulous dress – I think it’s great you’re looking into how to actually go about getting these dresses made! Like you, I often think of tops and dresses I’d love to wear that would suit me but that don’t seem to exist in any shops – I’ve never bother designing them because also like you, I don’t know one end of a sewing machine from the other! I did design my wedding dress myself though and found a fab lady to make it for me so it would be brilliant if you could find a way to bring your designs to life as well!
Lovely dress design!!
So much talent!
♥♥♥
Happy PPF!!
