Bella's birthday. Happy Birthday darling..

I got a reminder text from Bella, my beautiful cousin "Tomorrow is my birthday. Don't forget k. Bella". Cute. And i suddenly remembered the write up about her birthday dress in 2009 but was never posted in my blog. :) But decided to do so now..

January, 2009

It was 3 days to go to get the material and actually sewing for my cousin’s birthday outfit. Bella who will turn 8 soon wanted a Barbie outfit and to be specific, Princess of Island Barbie outfit. Everyone was searching high and low for her dream dress and my mum finally said, by hook or by crook you have to do it. Yeah..and its me! OMG! How am I going to do it? And where to get the materials?? I have only 3 days to her birthday party. But thanks to jules coz she was willingly to accompany me to find materials for the dress. Off we go and was skipping our sewing classes. And, I have only the Barbie picture as a guidance. We went from shop to shop along masjid india and by the end of the day, we were relieved tha we got what I really need for the dress.

The next day, I started the pattern and start sewing. But it was so funny that i wrongly joined the corset!!! And I have less than 10 hours to do it! Me and jules were at class, she was also tied up with her aunt’s dress that she needs to finish that very day. We and our last minutes.. so no talking for the whole day and we finally did it!!! oh oh...the corset for her was fixed with a mini bra cup!

So here’s the result..

Everything was done from scratch. including the necklace and the peacock tail.
