Mannequins: I Want One

So this thing... something I've always wanted

Before I decided I wanted to fry my brain with knowledge I had wanted to be a fashion designer, but figured it was too much work and engineering would be easier for me. (idk why i thought that). Anyhow, I have always wanted a mannequin.

Why? Why else to make my own clothes

It pisses me off when I go shopping and see a really simple dress that I want and WHOAH! that's more than it is worth. See I know this because my mother used to make all my dresses when I was younger. So that dress that says $50, yea it only takes about $10 in fabric to make.

This might be the reason I am so stingy when it comes to shopping and do not like spending that much on one article of clothing. Accesorries&purses&shoes that is another story, It's more like an investment. If you take care of it, It will last you a long time and make your clothes look more expensive :). Back to the story.

SO YEA, I have made it my goal to design and make some pretty dresses this summer.

Besides making my own clothes the way I want it exactly. I always have a problem finding clothes that fit correctly. God decided to make up what I did not have in bum bum in boobies. Sadly I have also gained those dreaded freshman 15, yes I know very sad RIP Skinny Me. But I always find something I want and cannot seem to be absolutely perfect.

If you want something done right do it yourself.

Thus I shall go fabric/zipper/button shopping soon.

Although I probably won't have a real mannequin until I have about $70-$150 to throw away.

Manage with what you got I guess :)
