Bust friendly blouses/dresses. sz 8-12 US

Anyone interested in some of my handmade garments? I've got this up on reddit too but figured I'd give you guys a heads up. (@jj feel free to pull this if it breaks any rules!) :D

Handmade Dresses and Blouses

I make most of my own dresses and blouses. I am not professionally trained. I took home ec in 6th grade and taught myself everything from there. That being said, I would not list anything that I would not be willing to spend money on myself. Sizes are approximate, ask questions. All materials have been pre-washed. Can be machine washed in cold water (separate from abrasives like jeans. close all zippers before washing), dry low heat or hang dry. Ships from US, not included.

Powder Blue Eyelet Blouse - cotton. Fits comfortably over my 32GG Cleo Meg, not too tight or too loose. Waist apprx 35". French dart front, peter pan collar, buttons up the back with large vintage buttons. French seams, hemmed with lace turned to inside. Very lightweight. Never worn $15 http://imgur.com/C28Dof7 http://imgur.com/cZyQUfA http://imgur.com/S3YXusb http://imgur.com/xhMPVYo

Black Crepe Blouse - poly. Same cut as blouse above, with baby sleeves. Band collar, removable bow neck. Pinked seams, hand sewn hem. Lightweight. Worn and washed once. $15 http://imgur.com/R7NG8vT http://imgur.com/Wbyu2Wg

Blue and Pink Floral Blouse -poly/cotton blend. Fits roomy over 32GG Cleo Meg. Waist apprx 35" Small white buttons up the front. Peplum waist. Double french darts. Seams and hems are left raw, minimal/no fray fabric. Lightweight. Never worn $15 http://imgur.com/R9oSxc1 http://imgur.com/JydycWH

Leopard Blouse - poly silk charmeuse. Lightweight. Form fitted over 32GG Cleo Meg. Would be roomier on smaller breasts. Zip side, button at back neck. Collar, bow and keyhole at front. Bound armholes, pinked seams, serged hem. Waist apprx 34". Never worn. $15 http://imgur.com/VmoNUxh http://imgur.com/4SObg2U http://imgur.com/LMiAxJf http://imgur.com/x1FvOir

Silver Spiderweb Dress - poly/cotton blend. Lined with 100% cotton. Fully linded, back invisible zip. Knee length. Empire Waist. Waist apprx 30" Hips 40". Probably close to size 8, room for apprx 32FF breasts. Worn and washed 2-5 times. $25 http://imgur.com/XtJ2RbP http://imgur.com/icpEIEK

Red Sheath Dress - cotton/poly suiting. (Looks shiny in pics. It's not! Almost a linen look fabric). Sweetheart neckline. Knee length. Waist apprx 30" Probably close to a size 8 (I'm a 12 and I can get it on, but it's sausage city). Optimal for 32FF/G. Hand sewn hem with pink hem tape. Hand sewn back zipper. Back vent. Worn and washed once. $25 http://imgur.com/h5mVE4C http://imgur.com/lB52iZG

Red Embroidered Dress - same cotton/poly suiting as dress above (not shiny! stupid camera) Knee length. Machine hem. Seam are pinked. Invisible back zipper. Back V neck has elastic for a closer fit. Midriff is lined, neck edge has facing. Gold thread embroidery of swallows (was aiming for pin-up tattoo look). Waist aprx 35" Fits size 12 (snug 14), with plenty room for 32GG. Made when I was closer to a 34H. Never worn. $25 http://imgur.com/hCobsHs http://imgur.com/m5xSjMh http://imgur.com/GfaWJ9r http://imgur.com/VWylbxv http://imgur.com/QRibZmi http://imgur.com/v3AZhaB

Grey Pinstripe Dress - Linen-look fabric. Lightweight. Fits size 12 comfortably, waist apprx 37" but should fit loose/skim. Way too roomy for my 32GGs. Made when I was a 34H/HH. Low neckline will require plunge bra (or regular bra you don't mind showing off). Machine Hem. Interior is finished with french seams and bias tape. Shoulder pads, invisible zipper back with keyhole and button neck. $25 http://imgur.com/YD0pgF6 http://imgur.com/MIovJjT http://imgur.com/Nzi0JvT http://imgur.com/FunIXqt http://imgur.com/NnOrXwx

  • Everything at and after the Spiderweb dress is sooooo cute! Good luck selling--and great job!

  • tiggaren thanks! I'm super bummed the spider dress doesn't fit anymore, I haven't found that fabric again anywhere.
