Fashionable Fridays: Dress Stress

 Strangely enough, I DO NOT like dresses. You would think from being a fashion design major, I would love to get dressed up, but I am totally opposite. That is why I could never pull off a 'What I Wore' blog because you would be bored to tears. Here are just a few pictures I could find of me wearing a dress or two. It took me forever to find these!

Wearing TWO dresses, this is a one time only thing!

     without me making a goofy face!)

So there you have it, I only wear dresses on very special occasions, but I think that needs to change.  I have quite a few events that are coming up where I feel like I should most definitely wear a dress.
I scoured Cincinnati looking for a few that could possibly work but found nothing that interested me and after looking for several weeks and only having two weeks until all these events come up, like Cincinnati Fashion Week, I decided to make my dresses. 
Starting with one at a time. I am in the works of some patterns, and that is my plan for the rest of the day today, so maybe tomorrow I will post some pictures of the ideas I have after I do some sketching & brainstorming. Luckily the fabric is already picked out, so all I need to do is purchase it. Happy Friday! Hope everyone is having as much fun as I am.
