Dress Designs That Go The Distance

Sunday, April 21, 2013


I miss designing. 
With all the pressure of writing and promoting The Chic Girl's Guide and recovering from the craziness of meeting my deadline, I haven't had time to execute any designs this spring. My sketchbook is full, but nothing has actually come of them. I got all nostalgic browsing through my designs from last year and thought--man, I can't wait to create again

These were some of my fave Kristina J. designs from last summer because 1) I love the fabrics and silhouttes and 2) they've proved to be as versatile and useful for my wardrobe as I hoped a dress could be. It's one thing to design a cool dress and then there's this whole other level on which a piece actually works and these particular design drafts are definitely going into my "trademark" folder for future use. 





What about you? What kind of dress are you craving for summer?

  2. I always love looking at your designs. So inspiring! I also love how all of those dresses are named after Michigan cities. I'm a Flint native & seeing those city names makes me miss my fam back home.
    I'm currently craving a shirt dress.You know, something hat can go from season to season easily. I started working on one last week and I should be all done with it tomorrow. (^_^)
