Summer of Steam

Inspired by the oncoming warm weather ‘SoS’ is a steampunk inspired classic/sweet line with the aesthetics of a classic dress and with modifications it can become a sweet and even something more steampunk.

It’s only in the beginning stages of development, and there have only been a few pieces.

The scallop bottom skirt and pleat style lace will have bows – shown to the left of the image, on each peak of the scallop.  There will be a print, but its undetermined at this moment what it will be.

For the pants, I’ve been toying with the idea of stripes though I’m not sure how it’ll look once its done.

This is the first jsk idea I had for SoS, a bodice style with the matching scallop as it had with the skirt. Shirring in the back to accommodate size range and corset lacing to pull everything together.

Other items in the pieces for Summer of Steam would include a waist corset, a vest, a blouse and maybe a few other items.

Within in the next weeks and months I’ll hopefully develop this into something more and maybe even have a skirt made with a finished print! 

On another note, the end of the year is coming, and so with this post I'd like to wish you all a lovely New Year.

Lolita Fashion Designs by Anna

Hello bloggers, Anna here again to update about my Thanksgiving holiday and give you a little taste on how I draw (though most of it is quite old.) I hope to post more once I have time but school is giving me a fair amount to chew on.

So Thanksgiving.... It was really simple actually. Just me and my mom so we didn't cook much. We bought what we thought was just turkey breasts, but it turned out it was a whole turkey without the legs and wings! So needless to say we had a lot of turkey, but it was good.

On to the art pieces. I drew these all awhile ago, ranging back from a couple months. My library has a great area called the Story Lab which was funded by a grant by the Paul-Allen Family Foundation. With the grant we were able to have five brand new macs, five tablets, two laptops and a lot of other amazing stuff. So, me being the ever artist, I decided to try my hand at a Mac drawing program called Acorn. Feeling my way out on acorn gave me the nice opportunity to make some nice Lolita designs. I apologize if they aren't the best.

This is actually done in MS Paint haha.

There is a weird pig tail obsession, and the skirts look the same... Let's hope they get better next time!

On a side note, I apologize for lack of postings. Because of school and looking for a job I can't think of much to post. Is there anything you want to hear from your lovely plus size friend? Anything a frillybutt wants to talk about? Please message me and comment!
