new creation!
i went to michael levine (my favorite fabric store in downtown LA) yesterday as i usually do on my days off, not knowing what i wanted to make. i searched the designer silks, cottons, jersey knits, and nothing was coming to me until i stumbled upon the lace section. i immediately was drawn to the black lace, and knew i wanted to create something with it. and then it hit me. i have been drooling over these american apparel vintage lace inspired tops and i just couldn't get myself to fork over the $38 they were asking for. not that $38 is TOO much, but for something so simple, i really thought i could create something so similar, if not exactly the same. well, that came true! i started working on this new top for a few hours, and the finished product was something that looked almost exactly the same, and was everything i envisioned.
here is the american apparel version:
and here is my creation:
so it's not the EXACT fabric as the aa one, but it's pretty damn close. so happy with the way it turned out. and the best part? i used about a yard of fabric that cost $3/yard. yes please!
xx.
