Hello ~^_^~
Last week I finished this two school uniforms and was eagerly waiting for the weekend to be able to make the photos and show you the results! The girls are now ready to begin the school year!
Keep reading for more details!

Here we have Sakura-chan wearing a white/blue uniform and Nia-chan is wearing a white/red one with a Lolita-style details. I also made those school bags with a fabric that looks like leather and added flower fabric inside. I bought the buttons in a local store and put them easily at home, it wasn’t needed to go to a shoemaker, and it was quite easy actually :)

Sakura is all nervous because it’s her first day at Highschool, she’s checking if she has everything in her bag. Nia-chan is shoothing her as a good big sister :)

I love making up stories…xD
Now some photos with more detailed view of the dresses, first to come: Nia-chan :)

The white thread on the collar is intentionally there, I used two needles with the sewing machine, one thread is over the white ribbon, white the other goes parallel on the outside, I followed that pattern for the sleeves too.

View from the back. I wanted to add something that matches a lolita-style, I was lucky to find those red rings, but it was too difficult to put at home, so I had to look for a shoemaker….and that was hard to find too lol, everyone told me that the rings were too small…I was loosing hope when finally I found a store with a nice guy that helped me…and for free xD (you should have seen his face when I showed him the dress…priceless)

Detail of the collar from the back. Maybe it’s a bit too long, but it’s quite hard to make it stay down since it has a double layer…things that happen when you sew such small things :)

What is that Nia-chan? Homework already?

Close-up…kawaiiii!

Now it’s Sakura-chan’s turn:)

I made this one more casual looking, it was the first one I made, so I wanted to keep it simple

Oh, forgot to mention, both tight hights are from Azone :D, I bought them first, then went to the shop to get a similar color fabric


Close-up front. I put a velcro to make it easier to put on

Detail from the back. For both skirts I used an invisible zipper, in this case it’s not that invisible because it’s white :p but sadly the color chart for those zippers is limited and I didn’t had a blue one at the time.

Sakura-chan is already studying hard for her classes^^, good girl!


That is all for now!
Thanks for reading!

Woow, those are amazing! So cute!! ^——-^
I love the detailing on the back of Nia’s outfit. I say it was definitely worth all the trouble XD
Those stripey stockings are just too awesome too XD
It’s good to see they’re ready to get on with school work too! Who wouldn’t?, especially with such cool bags!

Thanks! i’m glad I could find someone who wanted to put those rings :)
I have to say that the socks gave me the idea to make those dresses!
hehe, the bags were a last minute addition!

Looks fab!
Good idea with the shoemaker for the eyelets. Never thought of that.
Personally had issues with the first setting set I bought from Fiskars. 2nd setter works perfect though. Might be worth investing in if you plan making more corset style outfits. Can find you a link if you want ^^

:D
I didn’t had another way to put it…I bought some of those eyelets in silver with something that is used to put on with help of a hammer, but turned out very hard to put, I bend them all :S…please show me that link, I do have more projects with eyelets :D

You can never go wrong with school uniforms and those are really darn cute! The bags look great too, you are quite skilled! :3
