Maxi Dress? or Maxi Skirt?...... That is the question...lol

Salaam Sisters,

So I finished my dress yesterday and I love the way it came out. The issue now is I'm not sure if I want to cut the bottom and hem it? or should make it a strapless maxi dress? I love love love the way the bottom came out and if I cut I will either have to re-dye it or just leave it with just a little purple. The other option is to leave it as a dress and wear it with a cardigan. I like the dress but I dont know if it makes me look bigger then I already am. I also like the way it look as a skirt but I would lose most of the purple.

I'm so confused what to do!!!!... what do you think? I really really need your help on this one. I'm going to make my "what in my purse" tag video tomorrow ..look out for it


 THE SKIRT LOOK..it's not hemmed yet I just pinned it up but here's an idea of what it would look like

What I did so far.. Almost done

ASA Sister,

Yesterday I was able to work on the skirt for about 2 hours .. this is super easy to make but I did have a few issues with the closer, it was a little of a headache but I was still able to fix it .. I actually use hook and eye closer, not the best option but it works.

Here what I did so far.. I still have to sew the hem and I think I'm going to dye the bottom just to give it another look... Tell me what you think!!!

Starting the sewing project .. Fabric

Jummah Mubarak Sisters,

What's your plans for the weekend.... As usual mines is super busy .. Today I dont have much planned, so I'm able to sew my skirt YAY!!!! .. Tomorrow I have a meet and greet to go to at a sushi resturant... yum!! and Sunday is football with the boys.

Last night I went to Joann's and brought the fabric and thread. I wanted a real flowy fabric. I've notice when doing a sewing project it all about the material and prints. I'm not a print type of person so I got a nice solid grey color. I think it's a rayon blend but not 100% sure.
After wrapping it around my waist in the middle of the store ...lol I got 2.5 yards.

Here's pic of the fabric and supplies and me wrapping it around my waist once I got home. I'll takes pics as I go and post them. I hope it comes out well. Wish me luck!!!

Oh I forgot to mention .. I saw a cool tag on youtube that I'm going to do .. It's the  "what's in you purse tag" .. I may do it tonight if Ifinish the skirt.
